When fall arrives, caramel becomes popular because it pairs perfectly with apples, pumpkin, and warm fall spices. Rich, buttery, and sweet, caramel elevates any dessert. Brownies become extra special when there’s a layer of salted caramel. Apple turnovers feel like fall when drizzled with an apple-flavored caramel. Elevate a pumpkin Bundt cake by drizzling gooey caramel as frosting. Scoops of vanilla ice cream become decadent when drizzled with rich homemade caramel sauce. These rich and sweet caramel desserts are irresistible and perfect for any fall occasion.
