Instructions

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream. Stir constantly until the butter is melted and the mixture begins to bubble.
Continue to cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and stir in the salt and vanilla extract.
Let cool slightly before using. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.

Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.
For a salted caramel version, increase salt to 1/2 teaspoon or use flaky sea salt to finish.
