CARAMEL APPLE DIP

Is there any better way to get your kids to eat fruit then serving up apple slices with homemade caramel dip?  

I used to buy store-bought caramel dip every Fall, however, now that I’ve made my own, well let’s just say I will stick with homemade. You won’t believe how easy this Fall dip is to make!

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED MAKING THIS YUMMY APPLE DIP, HERE ARE A FEW POINTERS:

 

WHAT INGREDIENTS ARE NEEDED TO MAKE APPLE DIP?

Wrapped caramels, butter, and sweetened condensed milk.

WHAT DO YOU DIP IN CARAMEL?

This caramel sauce is so good you can actually eat by the spoonful (so I’ve heard anyway), apples, pretzels, graham crackers, and you can even add a dollop or two to your ice cream! 

ARE APPLES AND CARAMEL A HEATLHY SNACK?

Well…..by themselves, yes apples are a healthy snack. The combination of caramel and apples together? Not so much. However, as long as it’s in moderation, you can totally indulge. 

WHAT TYPE OF APPLES WORK THE BEST WHEN DIPPING IN CARAMEL?

We have tried both red and green. My youngest loves green apples so she prefers the tartness of them. I prefer the sweet ones so I like the red ones better. It’s totally a personally choice. 

HOW DO I PREVENT MY APPLES FROM TURNING BROWN AFTER I SLICE THEM?

Once you cut the apple slices, add them into a bowl and either use a couple of teaspoons of lemon juice to the bowl and mix the apples and the juice together. You can use either fresh or concentrate. 

Speaking of slicing apples. I can not imagine my life without an apple slicer. I’ve had made made by KitchenAid forever and it works great!  It works so much better when you are wanting even sizes.

HOW TO MAKE CREAMY APPLE DIP

There is just something about caramel and apples together that makes life better. 

Below is a simple breakdown of the recipe with photos. To get the full recipe that you can print off, go down to the bottom of the page and you will find the list of ingredients and the full breakdown.

In a medium saucepan, add in the unwrapped caramels, the butter, and the condensed milk. 

Turn the heat to medium low and let the mixture slowly melt. Occasionally stir so that the caramel doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.

Depending on how warm your stovetop gets, it will take 5 – 10 minutes until the caramels are totally melted.

Once it’s ready, pour it into a serving bowl and top with chopped nuts if you’d like.
