Caramel Apple Dip
Report
This homemade caramel apple dip is made 100% from scratch with real caramelized sugar--no condensed milk or brown sugar shortcuts! It's thick, glossy, and tastes so much better than the store-bought kind.

Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ heaping teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup water
- 2 Tablespoons light corn syrup
- ½ cup heavy cream room temperature
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter cut into 2 pieces room temperature
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- Apple slices for dipping
Instructions
- Combine sugar, salt, water, and corn syrup in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally until sugar is dissolved. If any sugar remains on the side of the pot, use a damp pastry brush to wash them down into the pot.
- Increase heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a boil.
- Once bubbling, allow mixture to cook until it begins to turn caramel in color and reaches 340F (171C).
- Immediately remove the pot from heat and, slowly, cautiously (because it will bubble a lot – don’t get splattered!), drizzle cream into the mixture while stirring.
- Once cream is fully incorporated, stir in butter one piece at a time until the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
- Allow caramel to cool before serving (it will thicken as it cools). We like to dip apple slices and graham crackers but you can really dip anything you’d like!
Equipments used:
Notes
- Melted sugar is very hot, do not touch until the caramel has cooled!
- The caramel is very shallow in the saucepan so take care that your candy thermometer is inserted into the liquid but not touching the bottom of the pan.
- Use ¼ teaspoon salt for classic caramel dip, and ½ teaspoon salt for salted caramel dip.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
