Ingredients

  1. 15 to 20 large Granny Smith apples
  2. Assorted chopped candies or nuts, for coating
  3. 1 (1-pound) box dark brown sugar
  4. 2 sticks unsalted butter
  5. 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  6. 2/3 cup dark corn syrup
  7. 1/3 cup maple syrup
  8. 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  9. 1 teaspoon molasses
  10. 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Skewer the stem-end of the apples with popsicle sticks. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with wax paper. Place desired coatings in large shallow bowls.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, milk, corn syrup, maple syrup, vanilla, molasses and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil until it registers 236 degrees F on a candy thermometer, about 10 minutes. Immediately pour the caramel into a heatproof bowl; let cool to 200 degrees F.
