When we think of the holidays, flavors like caramel immediately come to mind. Sweet things like caramel sauce recipes that include apples and pears are one of our favorite Holiday treats. Over the years we've put caramel sauce on quite a few different desserts, so we wanted to share some of them with you all together.
We put together 6 of our favorite creamy, dreamy caramel sauce recipes that will satisfy your caramel craving all year long. Although they are perfect for the holiday season, these caramel sauce recipes are something for your family and friends to enjoy during the summer months too... or maybe that's just us. We hope you enjoy!
Caramel Apple Blondies Brownies
Salted Caramel Apple Blondies are gooey, chewy, moist, and addictive. Similar to brownies, this dessert recipe has small pieces of apples simmered in caramel sauce. You will love every bite!
Mini Caramel Apples
This is one of the simplest and easiest caramel sauce recipes ever! These little mini bites really bring the holiday aromas and flavors to life from the cinnamon and the sweet taste of the caramel sauce.
You really have to try this!
Easy Salted Caramel Pear Trifle
As the recipe says, this Salted Caramel Pear Trifle is SO easy to put together. Yet, with its fancy layers of pound cake, pears, whipped cream, toasted hazelnuts and the very creamy caramel sauce, your guests will think you slaved in the kitchen all day preparing this dreamy dessert.
Churros Dipped in Salted Caramel Sauce
Churros are a traditional Spanish treat dipped in a thick hot chocolate, dulce de leche or cafe con leche. (In Spain, hot churros are traditionally eaten for breakfast. OH YUM!) Our favorite way to enjoy churros is dipping them in salted caramel sauce. We think you’ll agree!
Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Caramel Sauce
Adding pumpkin puree and coconut milk to this bread pudding gives it another layer of natural sweetness. The combination of the warm spices and the very creamy salted caramel make this caramel sauce recipe the perfect way to start the Fall season.
Caramel Apple Cider Vodka Punch
‘Tis the season to celebrate and cheer with a special drink called Caramel Apple Cider Vodka Punch. This sweet, fruity, festive alcoholic beverage will get you in the spirit of the fall and winter season. This alcoholic drink made with caramel sauce is easy to prepare and can be made ahead a time. Perfect for your upcoming holiday parties. This is also our most shared recipe!
We hope you enjoyed our Caramel Sauce Recipes and we encourage you to try at least one of them. Start with the Caramel Apple Cider Vodka Punch, and you'll be on your way to making them all.

I love caramel so much and those churros are calling my name! I'll probably be washing it down with the punch...yum!
Geoffrey Swetz
Churros are the easiest and best way to taste the full caramel flavor... you just dip and smile.

What a great assortment of recipes. I can't decide which to try first . . . the blondies or the bread pudding. Both look amazing.
Geoffrey Swetz
We are bread pudding fanatics, so we have to say go with the bread pudding first.
Charles
Caramel Sauce is my absolute FAVORITE dessert sauce! I cannot wait to try the Pumpkin Bread Pudding and the Apple Cider Vodka Punch!
Geoffrey Swetz
Excellent selections Charles! I would make the punch first so you can drink it while you make the bread pudding :)
