I learned to make homemade caramel in my mother's kitchen when I was very young, and have used and adapted her recipe many times over the years. My first few attempts at making caramel without my mom helping resulted in either over cooked and burnt caramel or an undercooked runny mess.
This recipe is simple and takes most of the worry of the equation. If you've never made caramel before this recipe is pretty close to foolproof. Simply made; all the ingredients get dumped into the pan at the same time, all you need from there is a kitchen timer and a candy thermometer. The most delicious and easy caramel I've ever made, this recipe proved perfect for caramel apples. I can't wait to try this it out when making popcorn balls and caramel corn.

Just love caramel apples, they are a real treat when we are at the mall, they have one of those stores that all they sell is covered apples. Family always laughs at me because I always go for a nice plain caramel apple. They get those ones covered in candies and nuts.
Thanks for your recipe, will really have to try for myself at home.

Autism Types, I'm with you, plain caramel with a crisp green apple. All that other stuff just takes away form the delicious simplicity of the caramel apple.
