Homemade Caramel Dipping Sauce

Homemade Caramel Dipping Sauce

Enjoy it with ice cream,cheese cake, coffee or make caramel coated apples.

Since the fall season is upon us, I thought this was a great little secret to share. So, if you’re in the mood to make some homemade caramel, here’s how:

Ingredients

14oz can of sweetenedcondensedmilk

Caramel Sauce

1. Place entire can of sweetened condensed milk in yourCrock-Pot.
2.Fill yourCrock-Potup with water until the can is compeltely covered.
3. Cook on low for 6 hours or overnight.
4. Open the can and voil! It’s now delicious caramel!

Caramel-coated Apples

Wash apples then puncture them through the top with sticks of your choice. Aren’t the natural sticks in the photo above cute and fun for a fall or Halloween-themed party? (Just make sure the sticks are nice and sturdy and you may need to sharpen the ends to a point with a knife). While caramel sauce is still warm, dip the apples in and completely coat them. Roll in nuts if you desire. Then place the apples, sticks facing up, on a sheet of wax paper and refrigerate overnight or until set.

Yield:Makes enough to coat 5 apples
