It’s Halloween time and what’s better than a Caramel Apple oozing with all that wonderful tasting caramel! I have always made caramel apples with the little squares that you just melt in your pan. Well, this year I found a recipe from Crystal that I decided to try. I had everything in my pantry except for the apples which all seemed to be on sale right now at my grocery. I also made my own sweetened condensed milk since I had those ingredients on hand too. So, this recipe was pretty cheap for my. It also taste so much better than the caramel squares! I promise you that you will never go back to those squares again! Hope you enjoy these and have a Happy Halloween!
Homemade Caramel Apples
8-10 Granny Smith Apples
1 c. butter
*1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
2 1/4 c. brown sugar
1 c. corn syrup
1 t. vanilla
Popsicle sticks
Instructions
1. Wash and dry apples. Stick popsicle sticks in the stem. Place aluminum foil or wax paper sprayed with non-stick spray on 9×13 pans.
2. Melt butter and brown sugar together over medium high heat, stirring constantly. Add in sweetened condensed milk and corn syrup and keep stirring constantly! Heat until 245 degrees (keep stirring!) on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into cup of very cold water forms a firm ball that holds its shape until pressed. Immediately remove from heat and add vanilla.
3. Roll apples in caramel and place on foil/wax paper lined pan. Allow to cool for 2 hours.
