I made this recipe last night, delicious, yummy just as beautiful as the one in the picture. Never will i by store bought caramel for anything. Cooked my caramel on medium high and went for more of an amber look. Dont be impatient wait for the caramel to cool so you can get a good coating. This was my first caramel and was so proud of my apples

Jessica, I doubt if a crockpot would work.
Anne, I have never failed to get a light caramel color with this recipe. Is it thick enough to coat apples & taste OK?

PLEASE HELP I don’t know what I am doing wrong, but it never turns to carmel color for me. I wait for it to get the correct temp and then add the vanilla, which only darkens it slightly. What am I doing wrong??

Can I use a crockpot for this recipe? I am making this for my little girls birthday party and wanted one of the kids favors to bring home is their own Carmel apple.

Juju, yes, the syrup is light corn syrup.
hstnflddc, sounds like you didn’t cook long enough. I use a candy thermometer till it is 235-240 degrees (soft ball stage).

Great recipe. The apples came out great. Better than any packaged caramel.

When I made this today, mine was so soft that it ran off the apples, almost a dip consistancy. Did I maybe not cook it long enough?

From the photo, I am guessing that “White Syrup” means Light Corn Syrup. Is this correct? I’d really like to try this recipe.

Yolanda, the 1/4 c. butter is put into the pan with all the other ingredients, except the apples and vanilla. Pat, the buttered plate is for the leftover caramel after the apples are coated.
