Does anybody have any experience with homemade caramel apples? Every recipe I've found, most of the reviews say the caramel slides right off. I found a recipe last night that said to let the caramel sit & cool in the pan 10mins before dipping the apple, then immediately dunking it into an ice bath. Little bells went off in my head when I read this... Anybody tried this or have other recommendations?

I haven't tried dipping the apples, we just used to dip apple slices in the caramel. Are you thinking of Halloween treats? Nothing would be more perfect than caramel apples.

Mom says she used wrapper like the Parchment paper and would put the carmel on that then wrap the apple. She said that was the easiest way. And that theres also a kit that comes with everything you need if you want to do it that way.

I actually like to eat them all year, but my cravings for them in the Fall is the worst. I haven't had one in 3yrs since I stopping eating ingredients in food that I cant pronounce. I've found great caramel recipes on Allrecipies.com that are amazing on nuts, popcorn & sliced apples, but so far nothing that can defy gravity.

I have never made them, but could part of the problem be the wax coating on commercial apples. If you have access to local harvested apples and follow the cooling + ice bath they may work better.

So, almost like the kind you buy in the store, but homemade??? Interesting idea -- Thanks!!!

This is my 1st year buying farmers market apples, so maybe there'll be a difference this year. I hadn't thought about the yucky wax coating, but that makes a lot of sense.
