Ingredients

Steps
- 1

- 2
Cook the brown sugar caramel with the corn syrup until it reaches a slightly higher temperature, which gives a thicker coating.

Leave the apples plain, or add your favorite nuts and candies while the caramel is still tacky.

Store the apples in the fridge for up to several days.
Creator's notes
If the caramel slides off, the wax on store-bought apples is usually the cause, so prep the apples to remove it. The recipe was retested with more corn syrup and a slightly higher cooking temperature so the caramel comes out thicker and stays on the apple.
