Caramel Apples

This is a new tradition for my family. These caramel apples turned out so perfect and it was so fun. Happy Halloween!!

2 cups brown sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1 cube butter

Boil these ingredients for about 1 minute while constantly stirring.
Then add:

1 can sweeten condensed milk

Continue stirring and bring mixture up to 245 degrees, then remove from heat.
Then add:

1 tsp vanilla

Let sit for about 5 minutes. Get your apples ready (I like Granny Smith) by putting Popsicle sticks in the tops. Also get your toppings ready (nuts, neath bar, sugar, cinnamon, chocolate). Dip and roll each apple in the caramel, then dip in desired toppings, then place apples on a cookie sheet covered with a generous amount of sugar (that way they won't stick). Let cool and enjoy!
