I love caramel dip for apples and recently discovered that it isn’t all that difficult to make from scratch. The recipe is below however if you’d rather just buy a tub of it at the grocery store Marzetti Old Fashioned Carmel Dip is awesome and if you click here you can print a coupon for $1 off!
I usually have heavy cream left over after making White Chicken Chili or Fettuccine Alfredo and since there isn’t a whole lot it can be used for, I usually make homemade carmel sauce with what’s left. Here’s the recipe.
Homemade Carmel Sauce
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
pinch of salt
2 Tbs corn syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 stick butter
Directions:
- Combine sugar, water, salt and corn syrup in a sauce pan and cook over medium high heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture turns the color of iced tea. The process will look something like this:
2. Add cream and quickly whisk in and remove from heat. Be very careful on this step as the mixture will bubble up really fast.
3. Add vanilla and butter, then stir until melted.
4. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
Of course this makes a delicious ice cream topping but we love to dip apples in it!
