I admit that I keep store bought caramel topping and sauce in my pantry most of the time. I am all about the convenience of just having it ready to go.

A few years ago, I shared a Salted Caramel DIY Gift for the Christmas season. I made that Homemade Salted Caramel Recipe for quite a few gifts and for some of our holiday baking. I have to admit I have not made it in a very long time. GASP…. I really do not know why because my family and I love this stuff.

I am making a few recipes for fall that will call for caramel in the ingredients. Normally, I would just purchase store bought so it is less of a hassle when I am running short on time.

Since the kiddos will be back to school, I would like to make a few from scratch recipes. I know I want homemade caramel to be included in them so I made a couple batches today. I thought I would share this simple recipe for Homemade Caramel sauce with all of you.

Fall is all about caramel goodies. It is great for dipping plain apples or our Apple Pie Fries (I know those will be made for many after school snacks this fall). Oh, and I can add it to our favorite Caramel Apple Pie Cookies too!

Making Homemade Caramel Sauce is so super simple. Why I always think of it being so intimidating is beyond me. I needed to beat that fear and be over it, ha ha. It is so incredibly simple.

    Can I use honey instead of corn syrup? Would I need to do more/less? Would I need to use something else with the honey or something else entirely? Does this caramel sauce work for the caramel topping used in the caramel apple pie cookies?

    I love any recipe that includes Caramel Sauce. I have found a way to decrease the splattering that can happen when you add very cold heavy cream to the hot sugar syrup is to warm the cream in the microwave. Sometime, I had the cream in a measuring cup and nicely heated and I put a ginger flavoured tea bag in cup while the sugar was cooking. This flavoured the cream just a bit and added a nice touch to the caramel sauce. Yes, I have tried different flavoured tea bags.
