Easy Caramel Apples

I just made these a few days ago, the caramel is soooo good! I didn't do the melted chocolate or cinnamon and sugar but it still looked and tasted pretty fancy...

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1 cup butter

2 cups brown sugar

Dash of salt

1 cup corn syrup

Combine all of the above ingredients. Boil for about 8 to 9 minutes. Remove from heat. Add 1 t. vanilla

***This makes a lot of caramel. Boil mixture longer if you would like it thicker or shorter if you would like a runny sauce.

Prepare the apples: rinse, take out the stem, and cut bottoms off so that the apples sit flat.

Put the sticks in (I used wood skewers cut in half).

Dip the apples, you will have to spoon the caramel up and over the top. Let as much caramel drip off as possible before you place on a greased cookie sheet. Put apples in the fridge until caramel is set and cooled. Drizzle melted white chocolate or dip in pot of melted white chocolate. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over chocolate while still warm. Put back in fridge until chocolate is set. Easy as pie!
