Toffee sauce

A while ago I noticed Asda selling some kids snack packs consisting of apple slices and a toffee dipping sauce. It seems like a good idea for reluctant fruit eaters. Anyone got a copycat recipe for the dipping sauce? I was thinking along the lines of brown sugar, butter and evaporated milk, but I'm not very confidant about experimenting.

    I've always made toffee sauce by melting a few spoonfuls of brown sugar with some butter ... for three spoonfuls of sugar say a spoonful of butter. When it's bubbling, I stir in some single cream, until it's got that 'toffee' look. I'd imagine that you could use evaporated milk in a similar way :)

    Sorry to be so vague, I just tend to make it as a quick thing for ice cream etc. It tastes great if you pour it over apples and then bake it with crumble on top!

    Sounds yum! I thought about cream, but thought evapoated milk might be better for keepability.

    Hi Bizzimum,

    I bought some of the Asda apple with toffee sauce for my children when they were reduced and not one of them would eat the sauce because it was too sweet!

    There are some recipes for caramel sauce on this older thread: Caramel Sauce recipe please!
