Easy Caramel Sauce

Yum- I loved this caramel sauce.  I have a few caramel sauce recipes on here already, but they're all different and so, so good.  Lol.  This reminds me of this caramel sauce, in that it uses simple ingredients that you just cook together on the stove.  No candy thermometer, no cooking plain sugar alone first, no corn syrup.  It's not grainy, either.  It's perfect.

Easy Caramel Sauce 

adapted from Carlsbad Cravings

3/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup evaporated milk plus more as needed depending on desired consistency
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1.  Add butter, brown sugar, water, and salt to medium saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, stirring until butter melts.

2.  Bring to a boil then reduce to a vigorous simmer, whisking constantly until thickened, approximately 5-7 minutes. The caramel sauce will thickens more as it cools. 

3.  Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup evaporated milk (it will bubble) and vanilla. Add additional evaporated milk to reach desired consistency, if needed.
