So grab your toolbox because we are making caramel apples!!
Classic Caramel Apples
Source: kittenkalskitchen
1c. butter
2 c. brown sugar
1 c. light corn syrup
14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp. vanilla
8-10 wooden sticks/dowels
8-10 apples (we like granny smith)
Optional toppings:
nuts, milk chocolate, white chocolate, broken up candy bars,
M&M's, crushed oreos....basically anything you can think of. Go wild... or
be boring..like me.. the choice is yours :)
Directions: Wash
and dry apples. Remove stem. Insert wooden dowels with a hammer (as if you were
hitting a nail). Set aside.
In a large pot combine butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and
sweetened condensed milk over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil making sure to
stir often to avoid burning on the bottom. Cook until caramel reaches 248
degrees F or until it passes the cold
water test.
Dip apples into caramel and spin to coat. Sprinkle on desired
toppings. Place on nonstick surface or buttered wax paper.
