Melt the butter in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl (if you don’t have, or want to use a microwave, follow the same steps in a small pot on the stove top).
2 tablespoons butter
Add the brown sugar to the melted butter and stir to combine. Return the bowl to the microwave and continue to heat until the sugar dissolves. The time will depend on your microwave but it’s probably about 20 to 25 seconds.
¼ cup brown sugar
Add the corn syrup, whipping cream, maple extract, and salt to the bowl. Stir well to combine.
1 tablespoon clear corn syrup, 1 tablespoon whipping cream, 1 teaspoon maple extract, Pinch of salt
Add the sifted powdered sugar to the bowl. Stir well, pressing out any lumps with the back of a spoon. The maple glaze should be thick enough to leave a track when stirred.
1 cup powdered sugar
Use as needed. This glaze is a bit too thick to dip most things, and is best to spoon overtop of the items. If your glaze begins to set, and becomes too thick, return it to the microwave for 5 to 10 seconds to loosen.
