DIY Caramel Apple Wraps Recipe

Add the chopped butter into a saucepan; cook on medium heat occasionally stirring; once the butter melts - remove it from heat and add in the corn syrup, sugar, and the condensed milk; return to the stove and increase the heat to medium-high. Once the caramel starts boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and insert the sugar thermometer; cook for 15-20 minutes frequently stirring until the sugar thermometer reads 240 F. Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully add the vanilla.

Set aside to cool and thicken. Using an edible marker or pencil, trace 6-inch circles on parchment paper using a 6-inch baking pan or plate. Spread the caramel within the traced circles using a silicone spatula. Cover with another sheet of parchment paper. Cut around the caramel circles, leaving some borders. Stack the caramel wraps on top of each other, wrap in kitchen plastic and place into the refrigerator overnight.

To apply the apple wraps: Wash and scrub the apples with mild dish soap to remove the wax coating and prevent caramel from sliding off; thoroughly rinse and dry. Remove the parchment paper from the apple wrap, place over the apple and gently smooth with your hands, removing excess if needed. Insert the sticks and enjoy!
