It's apple season here in mid Missouri! Nothing like fresh apples from the tree. I grew up near orange groves and had never seen an apple tree until my family moved to Missouri so I still find it somewhat magical to see those ruby red orbs taunting me from the trees! One of my favorite ways to eat apples is sliced and dipped heavily in caramel! Caramel apples on a stick are wonderful in their own rite but those things are hard on the teeth! This is a much easier way to enjoy a fall favorite. I had long heard of making homemade caramel sauce with sweetened condensed milk by boiling the cans in water-which I couldn't believe! #1-sounded dangerous - boiling unopened cans-NOPE, not for me! #2-sweetened condensed milk tastes nothing like caramel, right? (Wrong LOL!) I decided to give her a whirl and see what I could come up with. I didn't like the idea of boiling an unopened can of something in water on my stove. No way!!...
This is how I do it AT HOME MY WAY!
