Caramel Apples

 



I haven't perfected a corn syrup free recipe for Caramel Apples yet, so I decided to post these anyway. I think corn syrup has no place being in so many foods, but I give this one, the exception for now.

Caramel Apples

Ingredients
10-12 apples
Candy Thermometer
1 cup butter
2 1/4 cup brown sugar
1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions
Line two baking dishes with buttered parchment paper, or just butter the pans.

In a medium saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar over medium high heat, and stir constantly. Add the Sweetened Condensed Milk and Corn Syrup, and keep stirring till the Candy Thermometer reaches 245 degrees. Remove from heat and add vanilla.

This mixture will be full of air bubbles, so once it's off the heat, stir until most of the bubbles have popped. Dip and roll each apple in the caramel, letting the excess drip back in the pan, and place on prepared pans to cool. They will be completely set in 2 hours and ready to move. Enjoy.
