Apples dipped in heaven

Apples dipped in heaven amazing caramel dip

I have a thing for apple orchards.

I recently had my family pictures taken at one (by the talented Amy Lynn) and just three days ago I went on my yearly trip out to buy apples with my aunt at a different orchard.

I love traditions!   I look forward to getting apples every year!  We always go to the same orchard even though there are many to choose from out here.

Why?  I don’t know, maybe because it’s where my grandpa used to go and it just slowly became part of the tradition.  Our apple trip now signals to me that summer is over and I start looking forward to the crisp days and changing colors.   I usually get over excited and buy too many apples,

but this year I am not sure I bought enough!  They are so crisp and juicy and they are DISAPPEARING!  I think because of this caramel sauce that I made to go with them.

I had to ask my aunt for a good caramel recipe and she shared with me her sister’s – my other aunt’s!

Bonus: It’s EASY!!!  Thanks Joan and Kay!

Aunt Kay’s Buttery Caramel Sauce

YUMMY!

I started out dipping apples in this sauce but ended up dipping my finger instead, I couldn’t seem to get enough!  It reminds me of the Cheesecake Factory sauce that I always order on the side to go with any cheescake.  Em and I are addicted to Cheesecake Factory caramel sauce.  She taught me the finger trick.

*update and warning: highly ADDICTIVE! I just ate caramel for breakfast!  I dipped a banana in it, mmm.  I am walking around the kitchen trying to find things to dip in this stuff! I am not sure if I should praise Aunt Kay or curse her for this most amazing caramel sauce!

  1. Thank you SO much for posting this recipe. There is nothing better for fall then caramel apples. My kids are sick of apples w/peanut butter. :) -Carrie

    I just added this to my list of things to make this weekend. Fall is PERFECT for apples and carmel dip!

    Thanks!
    .-= Michelle´s last blog ..A great day for Sam =-.

  3. Alison says:

    I’ll definitely be trying this out! Caramel apples are one of the many reasons I LOVE fall.

  4. Traci says:

    I made caramel apples a couple of weeks ago just using those caramel wraps and I wasn’t very impressed. Disappointed actually so I’m really excited to try this recipe! THANK YOU!

  5. Nicole says:

    Yumm! Thank you for sharing the recipe! I can’t wait to try this!

  6. Alison says:

    These pictures are amazing!!!! Go Williamsons!

  7. Joan Morris says:

    Your pictures are beautiful Missy! Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to go with me to the orchard. I look forward to it every year :)

  8. Kay says:

    Yea! I’m famous! Your pictures are gorgeous, Missy. You make me miss my hometown and Grandpa and going to the orchard. This recipe is the result of a long search and testing. I tasted a caramel sauce at an ice cream shop and was determined to recreate it. I tried and threw away lots of caramel sauces in the process. At Christmas-time, I like to quadruple the batch, pour into small canning jars and give as neighbor gifts. What a great idea to use it with apples!

  9. Jill Jackson says:

    Thanks for the recipe! I’m going to have to try it soon. I love apples but my husband will love the caramel.

  10. Shelley says:

    Where is this Orchard Missy? I want to go! Even just to sit and look at all the beautiful apples. :) The pictures are incredible. I think my kids may just love me today. I am going to make this for them for snack time. Thanks for sharing.

  11. Julie says:

    I just got supplies to make caramel for apples yesterday, I’ll definitely try this out! I wish we had a beautiful orchard locally.
    .-= Julie´s last blog ..Its a BOY!! =-.

  12. This is wonderful! We do carmel covered apples every year. Will have to try this to change up the tradition a bit.

  13. Peggy Witter says:

    Thank you so very much!! This is identical to the recipe my grandma used to make but was no longer legible. I know the boys will be ecstatic to have caramel sauce to eat with their apples and over ice cream (at least hubby will!!)

    Yum, now if only i can find an apple orchard. Recently moved from Boise to Salt Lake and I hope I can find one!!

  15. Mindy says:

    Hooray for Fall! Love the pics. The lighting is gorgeous. I hope you saved me some of that caramel sauce…I plan to partake!

  16. Carolyn Clifton says:

    Is there someplace on the site that the recipes are posted for printing? I have already found several that I would like to be able to print out. Thanks

  17. Julie says:

    That is awesome. I grew up next to that Orchard and went to school with Bev. We love getting our apples from them. Have you tried their cider? So yummy!

  18. Nesleirbag says:

    Looks so good! I have never been a big raw apple lover (they can make my mouth itchy), but when they are dipped in caramel, (loud music, please!), yummm! Love the shot of the sun through the apple trees.

  19. Yum! I made this sauce and used it on top of ice cream this summer. It’s also good to dip pretzels in it.

  20. Monica says:

    I think it’s beautiful that you have this tradition of going to the same orchard that your Grandpa did. There is a favorite soup I like to make because I remember my Grandpa making it too. =) Thank you for the recipe! looks yummy!! =)

  24. stacy says:

    This caramel dip looks and sounds divine! I love the photos…they are making me miss fall…arizona doesn’t have fall. I guess I will just have to buy some apples and make the caramel dip which I know my kids will love! Thanks for the recipe!

  25. Kandi says:

    I just made the caramel dip and I don’t think it should even be legal. Oh my word it’s delicious (and I didn’t even dip anything but my spoon, yet!)

    Well done, Aunt Kay. Well done.

    Mmmmmmmm, Mmmmmmmmmm Good!!! That dipping trick is so much fun! I don’t think I’ll ever live that down Missy darling! I seriously can’t stop laughing.

  28. Amy Nowak says:

    I absolutely love the coffee tin and the glass jar with brown lid. My favortie memory with my grandmother would be walking over to the general store in Wabash, OH. It was directly across the street from their house, and we would go to get penny candy.

  29. I wish we had an orchard nearby. Maybe there is one??? I’m off to look. YUM!!

  30. Jenn says:

    this sounds so good, so tempting…not sure if I should make it or not…don’t want to gain 10lbs of caramel sauce on my hips!!!

    This recipe is amazing! Thanks for sharing! I don’t think apples have ever disappeared so quickly in my house :)

  32. Tiffany C. says:

    Made this caramel sauce but is it suppose to taste like brown sugar? What am I doing wrong or maybe this is how it’s suppose to taste? Help does anyone know? (note: still yummy especially when you add some chopped peanuts after dipping it in the sauce~ just not what I expected)

    I made this yesterday. So good. My daughter and I dipped it in apples..so yummy! I had made brownies earlier in the day so my daughter had an AWESOME idea..we heated the caramel, heated a brownie, and topped the brownie with vanilla ice cream and then the sauce. One word…DIVINE!!!!

  38. Nancy says:

    This looks delicious! Any idea how long it will keep? Does it need to be refrigerated or did I miss all that in the instructions. It looks like a great idea for Christmas giveaways!

    Thanks for sharing it.

    • Missy says:

      Yes this needs to be kept cold and as far as how long it lasts, I don’t know – I haven’t had any last long enough to test it!:)

  39. Kim says:

    OH MY WORD!!! This is simply AMAZING! Thank you for this fabulous recipe! Can’t wait to see how many things taste good with it!

  40. Jackie says:

    Just wondering if anyone knows how long the caramel will stay edible when it is in the jar. In case I want to make multiple bottles at the same time. Thanks!!

  41. this. looks. so. good. I can’t wait to try it! Thanks for sharing.

  42. scrappy buttons says:

    Oh my gosh,,,,I will be trying this tonight….I have a year to make the carmeled apples of the apple harvest fest we have in our town …..thanks so much for the recipe…..mmmmm can’t wait…

    Thanks so much for this recipe! I made some this weekend and you are right…it is most certainly HEAVEN!

  45. Andrea says:

    I copied this recipe so that I can make it as Christmas gifts for my son’s enrichment teachers (PE, Music, Art, Health, Counselor, etc…)…I think this along with a couple of apples will be a much appreciated gift!!!!

  46. Shawna says:

    Oh.my.goodness. I made this on Sunday and it is to die for! I tried some with apples, but really…it tasted so good on my finger, why waste a perfectly good apple? :) This will be a diet buster for sure but I don’t even care. This tastes just like the soft caramels recipe from the Lion House (in liquid form). YUM-O!

  47. Not good for my diet ladies. You are going to help keep my thunder thighs rubbing together. Not cool ladies…not cool. Wink!

  48. Yum, yum, and triple YUM! I love caramel! And I think even I can do this recipe!

    I live 10 minutes away from Apple Hill in northern California. I ‘feel’ ya with the traditions. Shoot, many years ago ( many, many years ago) I actually learned to drive up there when there were only gravel roads. Now it’s a tourist attraction 3 months out of the year.

    Thanks for the great recipe.

  49. Amy Jo says:

    I am in love with this sauce and want to make some and share with others…does it have to be kept refridgerated? Is it best room temp or warmed? How long does it last(LOL) if left in fridge, how long does it last unfridged?
    Thanks!

    • Kay says:

      It definitely needs to be kept in the fridge. I’m not sure how long it lasts, but at least 3-4 weeks. It kind of separates, but just warm it in the microwave and stir it. Try it warm over ice cream.

  50. basket411 says:

    I made this recipe last night for dinner and it was a HUGE hit! My niece was licking out her bowl! We shared the link on our blog. Thank you for all your wonderful ideas!

  51. jessica says:

    I made this Caramel a couple days ago and We loved it! It does taste like brown sugar though. Did I just not cook it long enough? I used light corn syrup and heavy whipping cream? Thanks so much for the recipe

    I also made some of the caramel (without the cream) and dropped spoon fulls on wax paper put in a marshmallow and rolled them up like sees kisses they were scrumptious and I don’t think anyone would of known but I couldn’t help and share LOL

  52. Vicki B. says:

    Just made something so similar to this for a pumpkin cheesecake. Of course the recipe called for 3 to 4 tablespoons of bourbon – which was added at the end. So I guess it would be considered grown up caramel sauce – but it was very tasty.

  53. Jennifer says:

    Made this today. Poured what would not fit in the jar over some popcorn and my kids are munching as we speak. Super yummy! Thanks for the recipe!

  54. Jessica says:

    Made this caramel sauce last night and it was DELICIOUS! Thanks for the recipe. I paid tribute to Aunt Kay on my blog!

  55. Michelle Holmes says:

    Do I boil the sauce for 5-6 minutes or does it take 5-6 minutes for it to come to a boil?

  56. Michelle B says:

    I made this for my twins birthday party to dip our fresh honey crisp apples in! It was delicious and the kids loved it!

  57. Oh my goodness! I just made this a little while ago and it’s wonderful.
    I watched the show “The Doctors” the other day and they said eating apples ARE a wonderful way to keep the doctor away. Probably not dipped in caramel but it sure did taste great.
    Thanks for sharing the recipe. I had to hope on my computer to figure out where I got the recipe from so I could thank you.

    THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING!

  58. Karen says:

    This is an addicting caramel recipe! I’ve already made it twice and loved the results! Thanks for the awesome recipe.

  59. Sarah W says:

    I LOVE this stuff! I made it over the weekend for family and am now making it to give away. It’s WONDERFUL! Thanks so much for sharing!!

    —to several of you who said it tasted like brown sugar- after I got mine to a full boil, I also boiled it for 5 mins- stirring CONSTANTLY to prevent burning- that seemed to dissolve the sugars really well and I didn’t have any problem with it tasting like caramel as opposed to brown sugar. —–

  60. wendy jumbercotta says:

    I made this this afternoon. It really is delicious. I packaged a small jar with an apple for my daughter to give to her teachers. Very, very nice EASY gift. I hope they love it as much as I do. Thank you and I LOVE your blog.

    Made this recipe this afternoon and my family adored it. WE only had 6 apples to share with 6 people but they were sticking fingers in the bowl and licking them. Can’t wait to try it on some other fruits. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. I’m planning on making some jars of this stuff for teacher gifts.

  63. Mikal says:

    I made this last weekend for our annual Halloween party. It was delicious and a huge hit. I am wondering how long it keeps? I doubled the batch, so we have leftovers.

  64. Angie says:

    Oh my word. I just mad this, and can I just say WOW!?! This is the best caramel sauce, and a cinch to make! This may become a staple in our home. Good thing I’m training for a half-marathon and can run it off! :) Thanks for sharing!

  65. Kay says:

    Several asked how long this sauce will keep. I’m not sure, but probably 3-4 weeks. It definitely needs to be kept in the fridge. I’m so glad you’re enjoying it!

    I just made this sauce a couple days ago and our first batch is already gone. It’s SO stinkin’ good!! I’m thinking it would make a great teacher gift for Christmas. With a gift tag, a couple apples and a cute basket, it would be perfect and easy! Thank you

  72. jtp says:

    YUM!!! I made this last night for my son’s teacher’s- it is soooooo good!!! Thanks!

  73. Ali says:

    How could I resist making it when you gave me a taste of it? Thank you so much by the way. My family really enjoyed it on Halloween when I made it. I had to cook it a little past the bringing of it to a boil to get the sugar to dissolve completely and I think that’s why some people are saying it tasted like brown sugar. I forgot at first, to add the cream and it was hardening so I just put it back in the pot and added it. It still mixed in fine and I can see how the cream is what turns it from regular caramel into a saucy caramel. It was so delicious and more than a little “sinful” (as those cheesy commercials would say)!

  74. Lindsey says:

    I saw this post when it first went up and just barely tried it. I can’t believe I waited so long!! We dipped them in apples and well as fresh PINEAPPLE!!!! SOOOO GOOD!!! I didn’t think it was possible for fresh pineapple to get any better, but I was wrong. :-) It is also delicious drizzled over popcorn. YUM-O!!

  75. Angelica says:

    This looks sooo good. I am going to make some right now! I’ll let you know how it turns out :)

  80. Chris says:

    This sauce would be wonderful over bread pudding! Especially pumpkin bread pudding!!

  81. Sandi says:

    Made this caramel sauce 3 times already and it has never failed yet! Made it the first time to have with apples(and anything else I could find in the house to dip), second time was just because there wasn’t enough left to go over the ice cream, third was to serve with the pumpkin bread at our fall get together with the family. Will be making more for some Christmas baskets I am making and will even be nice and give them the recipe.
    Thank You!

    Thank you so much! This is going to be my neighbor gift this year! It is perfect.

  84. rebecca says:

    I did this as our teachers, neighbor, Home/VTing gifts this year. I put a jar of the sauce in a craft colored square box with some filling and a couple of apples and then used silver string to tie the box closed/decorate. I’ve had nothing but rave reviews and my FIL even stopped by asking for another jar! Delicious!

  85. Teresa H says:

    I made this last night and it is so wonderful….we just about went to the store at midnight to get some ice cream to pour it over!!! I just have one question – do you use real butter for this? I used margarine and it tasted great, but noticed it separated. Once you stir it up real good it is fine, but am going to give as gifts and wasn’t sure if the real butter would keep it from separating.

    Thanks for the wonderful recipe!!

    • Missy says:

      I do use real butter. It has seperated before, but just a little and not until it had been in the fridge for a couple of weeks. I am giving it as gifts as well, just made it last night. They have cute little mason jars at Target that work perfectly to give it in!

  86. Stephanie says:

    OMG! I love this recipe! I cant wait to try it out this fall or maybe tomorrow!

  87. Jamie R. says:

    Made this last night and it is delicious (just licked some off a spoon)! I had to do a little tweaking because I kind of messed it up (my fault, not the recipe’s). My tip is to use a regular pan (don’t use nonstick!). I knew this from past experience but still used a nonstick pan. My sugar mixture didn’t fully dissolve or it recrystallized and it was super grainy after the 5-6 minute time on the oven. I stirred in my cream and cooked a little longer to get the sugar to dissolve. I ended up with a very thick sauce, more like a soft caramel candy, when cooled. Perfect for me! Not sure if the original recipe yields this thick of a sauce, but I’m pretty sure I ended up cooking mine to a “soft ball” stage in candy making terms. Great for dipping!

  88. Sue says:

    Just one question…the sauce uses cream, so I didn’t see in your post what the shelf life of this concoction is. The cream only lasts so long, even when cooked.

  89. Can this be used for making caramel apples? Will it harden over the apples?
    Also, what exactly is the difference between corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup?
    Thanks!

  90. Jacque says:

    How well does this sauce stick to apples? I am going to make caramel covered apples for an event at my daughters school and don’t want to start making this unless I know how well it adheres to a full apple.

  91. April says:

    Made this last night and it was Devine….

    .BUT what should the consistency be once it cools?

    • Missy says:

      It is very pourable almost runny when it is done. As it cools it get very thick. When you warm it up it gets runny and DIP-able again.

  92. Andrea says:

    I just found your site and am very excited to try this caramel sauce. I was looking for something to do for the people that work for my husband and for my son’s teacher. Quick question. Have you tried to can this so that it can be stored on the shelf and brought out later? If not, when you give it as a gift do you put on the tag that it needs to be refrigerated?

    Thanks for the recipe!!

    • Missy says:

      I have not tried canning this. When I give it as a gift, I do say on the tag at the bottom to keep refrigerated. It makes a fabulous gift!

  93. Karoline Pratt says:

    Just made this as gifts for Christmas. Ah-maze-ing! Luckily there was a “testible” amount left and I was licking the bowl. Thaaaank you!

  94. Teresa says:

    Oh my goodness, this stuff is amazing. It tastes like liquid toffee. Delish! Unfortunately, it’s ruining my diet! It’s too easy to justify eating it when I’m dipping apples into it! LOL

    Can the corn syrup by subtituted for something else or just omitted altogether? my little one is allergic to corn. Thanks!

    I was wondering if you add some salt to it at the end to make a fancy salted caramel? I am going to make this today! :)

  98. Felicia Cox says:

    Hi, I love this sauce! Just wondering, after you jar the sauce up do you have to refrigerate it or will it be ok stored on the shelf?

    Felicia

  99. Hannah says:

    Love this caramel sauce!!! can I use this sauce to make caramel apples?

  100. Dana says:

    What am I doing wrong? Or maybe it is still supposed to have a teeny tiny bit of grain to it? My sugar seems to not completely dissolve? I wanted really satiny caramel, but this has just that little bit of grain. The first time I thought I had maybe boiled it too long-the sugar just seemed to not be completely melted– and it had recrystallized, but the second batch has turned out just the same trying to follow exact directions, and I even went a tiny bit scant on the sugar measure. Oh well, it tastes great!

    • Missy says:

      Oh no! I am not sure what is wrong but be sure to bring it to a FULL boil so all the sugar melts. I have even let it boil a minute or so to be sure with no problems. Good Luck!

  101. SAM BURGESS says:

    Does it matter if you use light corn syrup? Or is one kind more preferable? I don’t bake and only have light from art projects…Not even sure if they sell a “regular” kind… Thanks. :)

    Does this need to be kept in the fridge? I thought it would make a great teacher gift. But if I send it in the morning, will it spoil by the time she goes home? Thanks!

    I noticed a lot of questions about how long it lasts. I found a similar recipe that said up to 2 months in the fridge.

    How long will the caramel sauce last in the refrigerator?
    Thanks, Kris

    I just want to say that I tried a few other caramel sauce recipes and threw them in the trash after I made this one! I added a couple of pinches of sea salt and it is hands down the best salted caramel sauce I have made…super close to Leatherby’s caramel sauce…which if you have had that, you will remember it! Yummy!!!!
