THE BEST CARAMEL APPLES
When I was searching for a recipe to make homemade caramel apples for the very first time, a close friend gave me this amazing and fairly easy recipe. My family and friends loved these delicious treats! Sprinkle with nuts or whatever you desire while the caramel is still warm (work quickly, the caramel sets VERY fast).

Steps:
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Dip apples in boiling water for a few seconds, then dry with paper towels to remove any wax from the peels. Set apples aside; when completely cool, insert a wooden chopstick firmly into the bottom of each apple for a handle.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Stir butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and sweetened condensed milk together in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and reduce heat to medium. Cook until a candy thermometer reads 248 degrees F (120 degrees C), 25 to 30 minutes; stir constantly to prevent burning. A teaspoon of the syrup, dropped in a glass of cold water, should form a firm ball. Remove caramel from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Working quickly, dip each apple into the hot caramel to completely coat the apple and about 1/2 inch of the wooden handle. Sprinkle apples with any desired toppings while still hot. Let caramel apples cool on the parchment paper. Use caution, caramel is very hot.

Steps:
- Add the sugar, corn syrup and 1/2 cup water to a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir a few times before the sugar begins to boil to combine the ingredients. Attach a candy thermometer to the inside of the pan and bring the syrup to a boil. Cook until the syrup begins to turn an amber color, then swirl the syrup to even out the color. Continue to cook until the syrup is a deep amber and the thermometer reads between 375 and 380 degrees F, then remove from the heat. Carefully pour in the cream and gently whisk to combine. Stir in the butter, vanilla and a pinch of salt until smooth. Keep off the heat but keep the thermometer attached to the pan.
- Pierce the apples through the stem ends about halfway through with candy apple sticks. Line a baking sheet with parchment and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- When the temperature of the caramel reads around 190 degrees F, dip an apple, using the stick as a handle and swirling to coat completely. Allow excess caramel to drip off the bottom and use a spatula to help remove any large amount of caramel, as it will pool around the apple when you set it down to cool on the lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining apples, gently heating the caramel on the stovetop over low heat, stirring, if it gets too thick for dipping. Allow the caramel to set and cool completely before serving or wrapping apples, about 1 hour. (See Cook's Note.)
CARAMEL APPLES
The caramel coating is very gooey, so refrigerate the apples for about 15 minutes, or until the caramel has firmed up. (You will need 6 wooden craft sticks for this recipe.)

EASY CARAMEL APPLES
Note: You'll need a large casserole dish or cookie sheet with wax paper laid down in it beforehand for cooling, plus some strong skewer sticks. You can also probably find stakes/skewers specially made for making candy/caramel apples in the fall. Being that I live in the city, candy and caramel apples are a delicacy when I visit my sister in the country. But I discovered how to make caramel sauce that was surprisingly easy, not to mention rich and delicious...so now I can have fall fest or county fair apples year-round! Better yet, the recipe is versatile-- omit the tartar if you want to just make the sauce for dipping apples instead of caramel that sets on the apples.

Steps:
- Pre-prepare the apples by washing and drying them first. Remove the stems and spear through the bottom trying to keep it somewhat central.
- Make the caramel sauce by melting the butter and sweetened condensed milk together, use high heat at first then lower the heat and keep it on low-medium after it's been completely melted and blended.
- Add the cream of tartar and blend.
- Turn the stove off and dip the apples in the caramel sauce. If it hardens and you can't dip, keep it on low heat until it's spreadable again.
- Put the caramel-coated apples on the wax paper and refridgerate for 2-3 hours.
- Feel free to top with shredded coconut, white chocolate shavings, etc. before setting.
