Tonight I wanted to make a quick dessert for my wife. I had plenty of apples, but no milk or cream to use to make caramel. Here is how I made some that went over just fine.

Ingredients  
1 cup water  
2 Tablespoons Butter  
3 Tablespoons Sugar  
.5 teaspoons Salt  
\----------------------  
3 Tablespoons Cold Water Mixed with 2 Tablespoons cornstarch

Step 1: Add water and butter to pan, melt the butter. Add sugar and salt and heat to boil. Reduce the heat.  
Step 2: Slowly stir in cornstarch\\water mixture. Simmer, stirring to prevent burning, take off heat once you have a desired consistency.

Enjoy.
