This Homemade Caramel Apple Dip Is a perfect party snack, combining the rich, buttery flavor of caramel with the fresh, tangy taste of apples. The recipe is easy to follow and requires simple ingredients like brown sugar, cream, butter, and vanilla extract.
Prepare the Apples: Start by washing and slicing the apples. You can use an Apple Corer to make it easier. Set them aside on a nice plate for serving.
Make the Caramel Sauce: Start stirring! Add the sugar to the pan at medium heat once the sugar is starting to smoke and foam a little. Add the butter and continue mixing with a wooden spoon. Once the butter is incorporated, add the heavy cream slowly. Don’t stop stirring until it is done.
Watch the Magic Happen: Keep stirring! You'll see the mixture transform into a beautiful, smooth caramel. This should take about 10-15 minutes. Be patient – good things come to those who wait.
Final Touches: Remove the saucepan from the heat once the caramel has thickened. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. This little secret elevates the flavor.
Serve it Up: Pour the caramel into a serving bowl. Arrange the apple slices around it, top it with some flaky salt, and voilà! You have a beautiful, delicious snack ready.
Notes
Remember, the key to a great caramel is patience and constant stirring. Watch the temperature and lower the heat if needed. Don't rush it; you'll be rewarded with the perfect texture and flavor.
