Caramel Apples
Caramel Apples are homemade with an easy, from scratch caramel. Dip the apples and drizzle with chocolate to create a gourmet caramel apple easily at home! This is the perfect fall time treat!
Servings: 12 apples
Ingredients
- 12 Granny Smith apples prepped (see post)
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 13 large marshmallows
Instructions
- Prep the Granny Smith Apples by inserting the sticks and removing the wax. (see post for more details) Set aside to dry completely.
- In a medium non-stick sauce pan, combine the butter, brown sugar, sweetened condensed milk and corn syrup.
- Bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil until the caramel has reached the almost hardball stage. (235°-240°). If you don't have a candy thermometer, see post for details on how to check the stage of the caramel.
- Remove from heat and stir in the marshmallows.
- Gently fold the caramel to remove any built in air bubbles.
- Dip the apples into the caramel. See post for tips on how to best execute this.
- Pour any excess caramel onto parchment paper and then cut into caramels when cool.
- Once the caramel apples have cooled completely, add toppings like chocolate drizzle, nuts, sprinkles or anything else you'd like!
