Make the caramel: spread the 1/2 cup granulated sugar in an even layer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook without stirring until the edges begin to melt and turn amber, about 4–5 minutes, then gently swirl the pan to melt any remaining sugar crystals. Continue cooking until the caramel is a deep amber color and smells nutty, about 1–2 minutes more — watch closely, as it can burn quickly.
