How to Make Praline Topping For Cheesecake Or Apple Pie

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup packed light brown sugar and 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream.
  2. Whisk constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continuously.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts, or your favorite nut) and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
  6. Allow the praline sauce to cool completely for at least 1-2 hours, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. This allows the flavors to meld and the sauce to set.
  7. Once cooled, generously pour or spoon the praline topping over your cooled cheesecake or warm apple pie.
