The Apples are Delicious!
Dairy-Free

Take Advantage of Them with a Little Caramel Sauce
Apples, apples, apples! They take me back to my childhood in Central Washington's apple orchards! And September is the perfect time to try a new recipe with this versatile fruit. I love caramel with apples, but wanted to keep this recipe dairy free, so I played with my caramel sauce recipe. I think you'll like the result!

Ingredients

1/2 cup raw sugar
2 TBSP water
1/8 tsp Red Himalayan Salt
2 tsp fresh squeezed organic lemon juice
1 cup full fat coconut milk (in the can -- shake it well before opening)
1 tsp vanilla

Directions

In a heavy sauce pan (cast iron works great) bring the sugar, water, lemon juice and salt to a boil. Boil for one minute to dissolve the sugar.
Add the coconut milk and vanilla, and bring to a boil again.
Continue to boil for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping the sides of the pan.
When the sauce gets darkened and thickened, remove from the heat and cool.
This sauce will keep in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
Sprinkle lightly with Red Himalayan Salt for a salted caramel taste!
This sauce is fantastic with sliced apples or other fruit. And try it on ice cream! Yuuuummmmm!!

What sounds good ?
