INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 🍎 8 large tart apples
    • 8 wooden chopsticks for handles
    • 🟤 2 cups packed brown sugar
    • 🥛 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
    • 1 cup light corn syrup
    • 🧈 1 cup butter
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients.

2

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Dip apples in boiling water for a few seconds, using a slotted spoon, then dry with paper towels to remove any wax from the peels. Set apples aside to cool completely, about 30 minutes.

3

Insert sticks into the bottom of each cooled apple through the core for a handle.

4

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir brown sugar, sweetened condensed milk, corn syrup, and butter together in a saucepan over medium-high heat.

5

Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce heat to medium. Cook until a candy thermometer reads 248 degrees F (120 degrees C), stirring constantly to prevent burning, about 25 to 30 minutes.

6

Remove caramel from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

7

Working quickly, dip each apple into the hot caramel to completely coat the apple and about 1/2 inch of the wooden handle.

8

Sprinkle apples with any desired toppings while still hot.

9

Let caramel apples cool on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 hour.
