Ingredients
Scale
- 6 medium-sized apples: Granny Smith or your favorite variety
- 2 cups granulated sugar: Main ingredient for caramel
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter: Adds richness to caramel
- 1 cup light corn syrup: Prevents sugar from crystallizing

Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients and prepare a clean workspace.
- Wash the apples thoroughly and dry them. Insert wooden sticks into the tops of the apples.
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, butter, corn syrup, and salt. Heat over medium until boiling, then cook for 5-7 minutes until golden amber.
- Dip each apple into the hot caramel, swirl to coat, and let excess caramel drip off before placing on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Allow the caramel-coated apples to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to set.
Notes
- Choose firm and crisp apples for best results.
