Cinnamon Salted Caramel Dip
Description
A five-ingredient homemade caramel with cinnamon and flaky salt. Serve it thick as a salted caramel apple dip or warm as a cinnamon caramel sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup heavy cream, warmed
- 5 tablespoons salted butter, cut into pieces
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- Flaky sea salt, for topping
- Apple slices, churro chips or pretzels, for serving
Instructions
- Warm the heavy cream until steaming and set aside.
- Add the sugar to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir as it melts. It will clump, then melt into a smooth, deep amber liquid.
- Add the butter carefully, as it will foam. Stir until melted.
- Slowly pour in the warm cream while stirring until smooth.
- Simmer 2 to 3 minutes for a pourable sauce, or 4 to 5 minutes for a thick dip.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cinnamon and kosher salt.
- Pour into a heatproof bowl or jar and cool 20 to 30 minutes. Top with flaky salt and serve with apple slices.
Equipment
- Medium heavy-bottomed saucepan
- Silicone spatula
- heatproof jar or bowl
Notes
Refrigerate in an airtight jar for up to 2 weeks. Rewarm in 15-second bursts in the microwave. For a cream cheese style apple dip, see my Toffee Apple Dip.
