My go to dessert for impressing guests without spending hours in the kitchen is this Salted Caramel Brown Betty. The beauty of this recipe is how quickly it comes together in just under an hour, making it perfect for weeknight entertaining. I love using brown sugar here because it adds a wonderful molasses depth that enhances the caramel, plus it contains minerals like potassium and calcium that refined sugar lacks. The contrast between the buttery, crispy topping made from puffed rice and butterfingers and the gooey salted caramel sauce is absolutely irresistible. Trust me, this one will become a favorite at your table.
