I had truly forgotten how good a homemade caramel apple tastes. Wow! If you haven't done this in a while, now is the time.
A few tips I can offer from my experience, which turned out very well: 1) Do not substitute water for milk - the milk is important. 2) Microwave for 3 or so minutes, stirring after each minute. You want the caramel to actually bubble up. Much the way you do when you are making caramel corn, when the caramel is bubbly and expanded it is much easier to dip into. 3) Rotate your apples while you dip, and after you get the apple covered, hold it up above your bowl and slowly rotate to allow the caramel to make an even coat. I found this helped reduce the "puddle" at the bottom. It does not eliminate it, just reduces it if you wait a bit and keep rotating before putting on the plate. 4) if you want to decorate with bits of stuff, sprinkle just a little bit on the side facing you, and then gently press into the caramel. Don't roll it or push it into the toppings as that moves the caramel away from the apple and contibutes to the puddle or very gloppy apples.
Enjoy, and thanks for the recipe - man are these good!!!
