Caramel Apples
Ingredients
6 to 8 medium-sized red eating apples
1 cup sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 cup white corn syrup
1 can (15 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. vanilla
wooden skewers
Directions
Wash and thoroughly dry apples. Insert a wooden skewer in the stem end of each apple.
Combine sugar, salt, corn syrup and milk in a 1-1/2 quart saucepan. Stir until sugar is completely blended. Cook slowly, stirring constantly, to soft ball stage (232 degrees). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Allow to cool slightly.
Working quickly and away from drafts, dip apples in caramel, twirling until well coated. Place apples, stem side up, on a buttered plate to harden.
