Delight in these gourmet caramel-coated apples, a perfect treat for any occasion.
Insert a wooden stick into the top of each apple.
Ensure the apples are thoroughly washed and dried to help the caramel adhere better.
Combine the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and sweetened condensed milk in a heavy saucepan over medium heat.
Stir continuously to prevent the mixture from burning.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then cook while stirring until it reaches 248°F (firm ball stage) on a candy thermometer.
Use a candy thermometer for accuracy, as this ensures the caramel reaches the right consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Adding vanilla at the end preserves its flavor.
Dip each apple into the hot caramel, turning to coat evenly.
Work quickly as the caramel sets fast.
Place the coated apples on wax paper to cool.
Generously butter the wax paper to prevent sticking.
