Ingredients Needed

How To Make Cinnamon Salted Caramel Sauce
Caramelize the sugar: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the granulated sugar. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula. As the sugar melts, it will begin to form amber-colored syrup. Continue stirring to prevent burning.
Add the butter: Once the sugar is fully melted and golden, carefully add the salted butter to the pan. Stir until the butter has completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Incorporate the cream: Slowly pour the warm heavy cream into the caramel mixture, stirring continuously. The mixture may bubble up, so be cautious. Stir until fully combined and smooth.
Season with cinnamon and salt: Add the cinnamon and kosher salt to the caramel sauce, stirring until evenly incorporated.
Simmer and thicken: Allow the sauce to simmer for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
