Try-it Tuesdays Caramel Apples


My family and I love caramel apples. Such a fun treat to make for a sleep-over, birthday party, Halloween, you name it and anytime is a good time.
I have tried several recipes and found this one to be the best for caramel apples. Try them, you'll love it.
Caramel
2 cups light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
2 cups sugar
pinch of baking soda
1 stick butter
1 (12oz) can evaporated milk

In a heavy 4 quart saucepan, combine corn syrup, water and sugar. Place over medium heat and stir occasionally with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes to a boil. Add soda and stir well. Clip on Candy thermometer. Add butter and stir well. Stirring constantly and without allowing mixture to stop boiling, slowly add milk.. Continue stiring yo keep mixture from scorching. Caramel is done when it reaches 242F. Remove from heat and allow to cool to 200F. Dip apples until thoroughly coated. Place on a bed of nut, chocolate chips, m&m's, etc., Hint: Silpat's work great if you only want a caramel apple!
