Caramel Apples

Oct 31, 2010 (updated Sep 19, 2024) (8 Comments)

Caramel apples

Caramel apples remind me of the fall apple season and Halloween, but you can make this treat any time of year. Use my caramel sauce recipe as a starting point and then cook the sauce a bit longer so it firms up more like candy or a caramel fudge, which you then use to coats the apples.

You can also make the caramel coating into caramel fudge, slice up the apples, and dip the apples into the caramel fudge.

    i just made these for daughter. She has a milk allergy so I used vanilla almond milk. I also ran out of honey so I used 3/4 cup honey and about 2 1/2 tablespoons of dark brown sugar. It took a while to thicken up but came out very good. Thank you for this fantastic recipe!

      thanks! Yes, it does take a while to thicken, in general.

    Could this be poured on popcorn to make carmel popcorn? I am trying to find a carmel popcorn recipe that does not use sugar?

      I've been wanting to try this for a while, but haven't yet. The closest recipe I would probably follow is this one: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Caramel-Popcorn/Detail.aspx. Here's my idea (but I haven't tried it yet): You'll want to boil the caramel for a while to get it close to burning so that it when it cools it is firm. Then mix it in with the popcorn (and any nuts or other stuff) and spread it out on parchment paper on a cookie sheet and bake for about 30 minutes. If you try it, let us know.

        I didn't want to use sugar due to a sugar sensitivity in our house, so I found this recipe on internet and tried....delicious!! I had to buy a candy thermometer but a local grocery store had it so that was easy. 1 cup organic maple syrup, 2 tbsp butter, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/2 cup un popped popcorn (popped makes several cups) First pop popcorn in coconut oil or other preferred oil, add celtic sea salt if desired and set aside in ceramic or glass bowl. Next in heavy saucepan put the maple syrup and butter and heat to 260 degrees ( will take a few minutes), add vanilla (I added it at beginning and didn't see a difference). Pour over popcorn and try and shape popcorn balls or just keep as carmel popcorn. Can add nuts or carob/chocolate chips if desired. Need to add and mix syrup quickly with popcorn before it gets hard. I think these would make great chanukah/xmas gifts wrapped in pretty saran wrap and a bow...don't think this batch will make it to the end of the day.

    What a great Fall treat! And this sounds like a fun one to make with my son, combining his two favorites: apples and sugar 🙂
