Cinnamon Caramel Sauce – this easy homemade caramel sauce is full of cinnamon flavor! Just 5 ingredients, it’s so easy to make and perfect for fall.
Want to hear something funny? I actually made this recipe two years ago when I made my pumpkin caramel sauce. I never photographed or posted it because, honestly? It was gone before I could get the urge to shoot it.
(What? I can’t be the only one that eats caramel by the spoonful…right?)
I decided that since it’s fall again, I should make the recipe and actually post it this time. It makes a great gift, a great fruit dip, and an even better topping for cheesecake.
What makes this homemade caramel recipe different than all the others? I added a hefty dose of cinnamon to the mixture. The sweet and rich caramel flavor comes through with a strong taste of warmth and flavor from the cinnamon.
If you ask me, cinnamon should be a year-round food.
Caramel sauce is one of those things that I always forget I can make. I end up buying the sub-par stuff (or spending a LOT of money on a tiny jar of a premium brand) even though the homemade version is just so much better. It’s richer and creamier and the flavor is just so much more, well, caramel-y.
While making caramel at home can seem daunting, it’s not any harder than making pudding. If you’ve made homemade pudding or meringue, browned butter or made a béchamel sauce, you can make caramel.
Trust me, like homemade pudding, once you make it yourself you’ll NEVER want to go back to the jar again.
You only need 5 ingredients: sugar, butter, cream, vanilla, and (for this version) cinnamon. If you add salt, one more ingredient, but that’s optional.
It takes no more than 15 minutes to make and you’re going to have to make yourself not eat it straight from the pan. (Really, don’t do that. You’ll really hurt yourself…not that I’d know or anything…)
