Caramel Icing
Serves: 1½ cups
 
With just five ingredients, this traditional cooked icing is a cinch to make and is the perfect topping for our Caramel Apple Cakes. If icing cools and becomes hardened while dipping cakes, warm it over very low heat, adding a little milk, if necessary, to achieve desired consistency. Conversely, if icing is too warm and thin, let it cool a bit before using.
Ingredients
  • 1 cup salted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup whole milk
  • 1½ cups sifted confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add brown sugar and milk, stirring until combined. Increase heat to medium-high, and bring mixture to a full boil, stirring constantly. Boil, stirring constantly, for exactly 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract, whisking until incorporated. Use immediately.
