Buttery Caramel Sauce

This buttery and delicious caramel sauce is so good poured over fresh apples and even ice cream!  It would be even better drizzled over a fresh apple pice.  Using II Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!® cuts down on the fat, but not the flavor.  My grandparents loved I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!®  and most of my family still enjoys it.  While I love real butter, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!® holds many memories!  My grandparents would buy it back when it was in a round tub and melt it over fresh homemade batch of Pierogi.  To me Pierogi isn’t the same without I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!®.  I really love to have it and treasure those memories we had.  It’s funny how most of my memories only mom’s side are about food.  We’re definitely a foodie family.
