I have a serious apple addiction. I can't stop eating apples in any form -- fresh sliced, apple crisp, applesauce, dried apple chips. My favorite apples are the oh so sweet honey crisps, which were on sale at the local grocery store a couple weeks ago for $1.88 per pound. So I snagged a couple bags to stock up, since my husband adores these apples, too.
I also love caramel apples, but my husband doesn't. I always feel goofy making a batch of caramel apples just for me. So I thought I'd try out an easy caramel apple dip recipe I found a few years back in Progressive Farming magazine.
The homemade caramel dip turned out just like the store-bought kind, except it was a little runny at first. But it solidified after an overnight stay in the refrigerator. This dip took less than 5 minutes to make, seriously. And I didn't have to break out the candy thermometer, which always intimidates me.Here's the recipe, if you want to try it for yourself. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteHi! I would rather not say where I'm from on the Internet. But I've been to Algona several times for work. Such a nice town! I especially like the movie theater & coffee shop on Main Steet. Thanks for reading my blog!
