Instructions
Pumpkin Caramel Sauce Directions
- Make the pumpkin caramel sauce: In a large skillet, cook sugar on medium heat until fully melted. It will start out dry, then start to clump, then become mostly melted and turn brown, then be smooth and brown.
- Once it’s smooth, add butter and stir quickly. Mixture will bubble up.
- Once butter is completely melted, add in the heavy whipping cream. Again the mixture will bubble, just continue to stir. Boil for 1 minute, then take it off the heat and add the pumpkin pie spice and salt. Stir to incorporate and pour into a heat safe container. Glass works best. Mixture is extremely hot so don’t be tempted to test it right away.
