Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup karo syrup
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a heavy bottomed sauce pot over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, brown sugar, Karo syrup, sweetened condensed milk, and salt.
- Cook over medium heat while stirring with a flat bottomed wooden spoon or rubber spatula, ensuring to scrape the bottom of the pan constantly until the sugars dissolve and the butter melts.
- Increase the heat to high and continue cooking the caramel mixture, stirring constantly, until it reaches 225 degrees F on a candy thermometer.
- Once it reaches 225 degrees, remove the pot from the heat immediately to stop the cooking process. Let cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
- Pour the caramel into a serving dish and pair it with sliced apples for dipping.
Notes
Allowing the caramel to cool for a few minutes helps it thicken slightly for better dipping.
Store any leftover caramel in an airtight container; it can be reheated gently in the microwave before serving again.
Serve with a variety of apple types for different flavor combinations.
