Caramel Glaze

¼ cup of butter

1/2 cup of brown sugar

¼ cup of heavy cream

2 tsp. of vanilla extract

Bring all the ingredients to a boil in a small sauce pan over medium-high heat. While stirring constantly, boil until sugar is completely dissolved and the caramel has slightly thickened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
