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!

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!

    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.

  6. Kris says:

    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!!!!
