  1. Thank you for this beautiful recipe. Can’t wait to make it. Esmeralda x

  2. Hi. I am curious as to what the butter adds to the recipe since it’s optional. Do you think it’s better with it? Thanks.

    1. Just a more buttery flavor Dawn…If you tolerate dairy, add it and see what you think :)

  3. I’m so proud of myself for making smooth, delicious homemade caramel topping…and it was so easy :D This was heavenly with Pink Lady apples and I’m going to try this with homemade frozen yogurt (we’re fine with yogurt).
    Thanks for another great recipe!

    1. Monica, You’re making me hungry! I’m happy you enjoyed. :)
