The best homemade caramel apples recipe! Tart apples are coated with a sweet and buttery homemade caramel and rolled in salty nuts for a delicious fall dessert.
Cook over medium-low heat until the caramel reaches 235-240 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon.
You will know you’re getting close when the caramel becomes slightly darker brown in color but it’s still light brown, thickens, and pulls away from the sides of the saucepan as you stir.
