My beloved college friend Shauna sent me home from our breakfast date over the weekend with homemade caramel apple dip.  It smelled divine and tasted as even better.  I was careful not to ask for the recipe until after we’d eaten the whole jar in a day!  I knew it couldn’t be any sort of healthy, but for a special thing it would be fun.  So I must share since apple season is in full swing here…

1 cup butter (that’s why it’s so good!)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
3/4 brown sugar
1/4 corn syrup

Combine in a small pot and heat over med. heat until butter is melted, and sugar is dissolved (about 5 min)….Make sure you are continually stirring so as not to burn the brown sugar. Whisking it helps to emulsify the ingredients together. Mixture does not need to boil, just be thoroughly mixed. Remove from heat, and add 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1 tsp vanilla. Enjoy with apple slices!
