Caramel Dip for Apples

Thoughtful Host or Hostess gifts

While I make a lot of my mom’s recipes, there are some that bring me right back to my childhood more than others. She used to make the best nacho dip for chips, which I have yet to recreate myself, and I vividly remember sitting on the pull-out bed from the couch and watching a movie with my siblings while eating it.

This caramel apple dip is another recipe that reminds me a lot of my childhood. I can’t pinpoint a specific memory, but I just remember eating it with fresh apples we had just picked from a nearby apple orchard.

This dip is a sweet, light colored caramel dip that is AMAZING with apples!

Caramel Dip for Apples

1 can sweetened condensed milk

3/4 C light corn syrup

1 C sugar

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/4 C butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

Bring milk, syrup, sugar and salt to a boil*. Let boil for 2-4 minutes, until everything has mixed together. Remove from heat and then add butter and vanilla. The caramel will be light in color when you are finished!

*there is a difference between a rapid boil and a ‘medium’ boil. Basically, you want the caramel boiling, but at a controlled boil instead of letting it get too hot and turn into a rapid boil

Trust me, serve this at your next get together and it will be a hit! I served it to my friends with small paper ice cream bowls so they could pour some caramel into the bowl, and then set their apples up in it vertically!

This looks delicious! We are in full apple picking mode up here in upstate NY so I always need a lot more apple recipes! (my hubby always wants pie!)

Just made this and it’s incredible! Clearly, the apples are just a vehicle for as much delicious caramel sauce as possible. I’m thankful no one is home to witness me licking the bowl! 😉 Thank you for sharing!

We have a super easy one that is used at our house: one block of cream cheese, a cup of brown sugar and a tablespoon of vanilla!
So good and easy!
