Make the caramel sauce: Combine the organic cane sugar and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring just until the sugar dissolves. Once dissolved, stop stirring and cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the syrup turns a deep amber color, 8–10 minutes. Watch closely — the caramel can darken quickly once it starts to color.
