For the Caramel Glaze:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • For the glaze, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, add brown sugar, and whisk until dissolved. Stir in heavy cream and vanilla. Simmer for 2 minutes.

Notes

  • Use dark brown sugar for a deeper caramel flavor.
  • Let the glaze cool slightly for a thicker consistency.
