Instructions
In a sauce pan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, butter, light corn syrup, and milk. Bring to a boil and continue cooking until thickened, approximately 1 to 2 minutes.
If you want to be sure that your sauce has thickened to the right consistency, use a candy thermometer and when it reaches the soft ball stage at 240 degrees F, it is done.
Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla extract or other flavorings as desired.
Notes
Use this caramel sauce to make 5-10 caramel apples.
