- STEP 1.
- Rinse the apples under running water, then dry them thoroughly with paper towels. There shouldn't be a single drop of water left on the surface — if the skins are damp, the caramel won't stick properly. Next, with a sharp knife, hollow out the core of each apple and insert a wooden stick (or a sturdy twig — twigs make for a more rustic look). STEP 2.
- Make the caramel coating. In a mixer bowl, beat the condensed milk and heavy cream together until smooth. Pour the corn syrup into a medium saucepan and add both the granulated and the brown sugar. Stir and set over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally so the sugar fully dissolves. As soon as it boils, add the butter, stir again, and cook until it has completely melted. Pour the beaten condensed-milk-and-cream mixture into the center of the pan in a thin stream, stirring constantly. Keep cooking until small bubbles form on the surface, then lower the heat to its minimum and clip on a candy thermometer. Make sure the temperature stays below 250°F (120°C). Cook until thickened, about 15–20 minutes. Take the caramel off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract for aroma. Mix well.
- STEP 3.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat so you can set the apples down without them touching. One at a time, dip the prepared apples into the caramel, turning to coat evenly all over. If you like, roll them in chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or cookie crumbs — even coarse sea salt works, depending on your taste. Set the coated apples on the lined sheet and let them dry for an hour or more, until the caramel sets completely. Enjoy!
