Crisp and juicy fresh autumn apples coated in a creamy homemade caramel make the perfect fall treat or gifts for friends and family.
The post Caramel Apples appeared first on Budget Bytes.
Is there anything more fall-like than caramel apples? The combination of fresh crisp fall apples with the creamy rich flavor of homemade caramel is absolute perfection. These caramel apples are 100% from scratch, so there is a little bit of skill involved when cooking the sugar and creating the caramel, but candy-making aside, this caramel apple recipe is relatively fast and easy to make!
Homemade Caramel Apples
I was in the store the other day and saw some pre-made caramel apples out on display and I almost died when I saw the price tag of $6.99 for four small apples. And, of course, I immediately needed to prove to myself that I could make them better and cheaper.
A lot of caramel apple recipes use pre-made soft caramel candies, but those candies are also expensive, so that wouldn’t help my budget caramel apple quest. Instead, I made caramel from scratch using really simple and inexpensive ingredients, like sugar, butter, and cream. I will say that candy-making might be a bit tricky for beginners, but once you get the hang of it, it’s a breeze! I’ll show you the tricks to make sure you get that caramel thick enough to coat the apple, but soft enough to still be able to bite through.
Ingredients for Caramel Apples
Here’s what you’ll need to make your own homemade caramel apples from scratch:
- White Sugar: White granulated sugar is cooked down until it begins to caramelize, giving that classic caramel color and flavor. It’s also what hardens the caramel so it can coat the apples.
- Corn Syrup: Corn syrup helps stabilize the caramel sauce, preventing it from crystalizing and seizing up. This is especially helpful for those new to working with cooked sugar and the candy-making process.
- Water: Dissolves the sugar, allowing it to caramelize a little more slowly and easily, which makes the recipe a little more forgiving
