I should have read the reviews first. The caramel slid right off. Probably should have boiled the apples first--with some vinegar (according to Giada. I still gave it two stars because the caramel tastes amazing.

First time making caramel apples here and I'm happy to say it was pretty easy. The only issue I had was the caramel that didn't drip off the apple was a little thin for my liking. I guess I could re-dip next time. I doubled the recipe and towards the end while dipping the last few apples, the caramel started to slip off and wouldn't stick. The only thing that I could think of is that the caramel was getting too cool or like another reader mentioned, there's wax on the apples. The dark corn syrup and real maple syrup made these decadent!

I made this caramel last night and it was beyond easy! I've never made any kind of candy that requires a thermometer, so I had to buy one, but this caramel sauce is so good.
The only problem I had was the sauce wouldn't stick to some spots of the apples - it ran right off. I followed the advice of a previous poster and stuck the apples in boiling water and wiped them to remove the wax, so maybe I missed a few spots? Either way, I had enought caramel left over to store in the fridge for a dipping sauce.

Iread all of the other recipies before attempting any. Nervously i tried this one first, i cooked it for 14 minutes right on medium(230degrees and i think i could have gotten it around 30-50 degrees hotter which would have made it chewter or firmer. It coated perfectly @200 degrees. Use a medium stainless steel bowl, clean up is a breeze. It coats 15 small apples, they were smaller than my fist.Not alot of run-off or sagging, i havent even refridgereated mine yet. They taste alot like the sweetened condensed milk, i did however omit the maple because we domt care for it. I'm going to try recipie #2 paulas next time and i'll post as to the ease and taste.

I'm not a candy maker, so I'm sure that I did something wrong, but I followed the directions, used apples without wax (directly from my tree and I still couldn't get the caramel to stick to the apples. The caramel tasted great though, it almost looked greasy. Not sure what happened.

I have been making caramel apples and pears for many yeats and always dread whether or not the caramel will turn out. This is the easiest and best tasting recipe ever. I loved the process and especially liked using the stainless steel bowl to cool down the caramel and then dip the fruit into. Thank you Chef Irvine-I will use this recipe for years to come.

This was a very easy recipe that was definitely a crowd pleaser tonight at the Halloween party! So cool when you make the caramel from scratch! Thanks for a great recipe!

We had friends come over and we made these apples as a group. I made my apples with caramel and nuts. The others all dipped their apples in chocolate after the caramel set. I followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious. One hint about making any dipped apple recipe. If the apple is shiny, which most store bought are, they have been dipped in wax. To remove the wax, bring a pot of water to a boil and then dip the apple for a second in the water. Take the apple out and use a cotton towel to wipe the wax off. The apple will now have a dull finish. Green apples may turn a different color on the outside only. It does not affect the taste and you don't see it once you have dipped the apple. Try these apples. You will love them!!!
