How about something sweet? Honey caramel sauce is easy to make, very tasty, and the perfect apple dipper for a sweet new year.
This recipe almost didn’t happen! Okay well it happened, but I wasn’t going to put it on the blog. I was just playing around in the kitchen, dreaming of the Jew Year coming up (it cannot come soon enough, right?), and tested out this honey caramel sauce for funsies.
Well, it was so delicious I knew I had to share it with you. Keeping this honey caramel sauce recipe all to myself seemed like a selfish way to start 5781. So I took a few quick photos and here we are!
I love the idea of using this sauce as a honey substitute for your apples and honey Rosh Hashanah needs. Or pair it with honey! Or make it just because! Or drizzle it on ice cream! Or a brownie. OMG.
Honey Caramel Sauce
Ingredients
- ½ cup dark brown sugar (or light)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, sliced
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- In a medium heavy-bottomed pot, bring brown sugar, butter, honey and salt to a simmer while stirring. Simmer until thick and all the ingredients have integrated.
- Add the cream, stir, and bring back to a simmer. Simmer for 1 minute. Let the caramel cool, it will thicken as it cools. Serve with apples or whatever you like! Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to five days. Re-heat in the microwave or stovetop if it gets too thick.
Sounds delish. What can I use in place of the heavy cream to make it dairy free? (Will sub vegan margarine for the butter).
Thanks! Some people have said almond cream or vegan cream will work but I haven’t tried that. You can leave the cream out though and it still works.
Looks yummy however I’m looking for something I can make in Atlanta to ship to NYC as a Rosh Hashanah gift. Got any ideas? I’m waiting on your cookbook to be delivered this week. Is there a condiment recipe included I could use? Thanks!
Hi Georgia- thanks for ordering my book! How about rugelach? That travels well.
do you think coconut cream would work to make this dairy free?
You could try!
