Caramel Apples image

What a delight! If you love caramel apples in the fall, these are truly classic. The homemade caramel is creamy and tastes fantastic. We love all the topping options. These caramel apples can be dipped into any of your favorite toppings. A real Blue Ribbon treat

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 c pecans, peanuts, almonds or walnuts, chopped
12 medium apples, tart ones, washed and dried
12 popsicle sticks
2 c brown sugar
1 c light corn syrup
8 Tbsp butter
1 oz sweetened condensed milk (15 oz)
1 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Lay out a large sheet of wax paper. Sprinkle nuts, or your desired toppings, onto it to be ready to set apples on after dipping.
  • 2. Stick popsicle sticks into the tops of apples. Set apples aside.
  • 3. In a saucepan combine sugar, syrup, and butter. Stir well and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir constantly.
  • 4. Stir in milk, slowly as to not stop the boiling, continue to stir constantly until mixture reaches 235 degrees/softball stage.
  • 5. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla.
  • 6. Allow caramel to cool about 5-7 minutes, stirring it constantly. Then dip apples. You'll have to tip the saucepan on its side almost, then roll the apples in the caramel.
  • 7. Set into nuts onto waxed paper. Allow to cool. Then enjoy!!!
  • 8. *For extra added yumminess, you can sprinkle more chopped nuts on top of apples after dipping. And/or you can sprinkle many things on them from coconut to crushed Oreos. *Also, something fun to do, especially if giving as gifts, melt some milk chocolate, white chocolate, or dark chocolate (or all three) and drizzle over the apples after they've set.
