Caramel Recipe for Caramel Apples

Course Dessert
Cuisine Baking
Keyword salted caramel
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 can 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup dark corn syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  • In a heavy saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, corn syrups, sweetened condensed milk, and salt; bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Cook and stir until the candy thermometer reads 248 degrees. It can take 30-40 minutes
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
  • You can dip your apples right away, but I have found the caramel then drips down the sides of the apple a bit more. I let mine cool to 150. I’d probably suggest letting it cool to 175-200 because mine was a tad thick.
