Every fall brings crunchy, tasty apples, sometimes boxes of them! We eat them whole. We eat them cut up into slices. I like them chopped up in vanilla or plain yogurt, or on cereal. We usually make a few pans of apple crisp to eat with vanilla ice cream. After doing all that this year, we still had some apples that needed to be eaten up. Suddenly I remembered, “Oh yeah! The caramel! How could I forget?” Our family loves this caramel dip. It’s quick and easy to make, and it’s quite delicious. It also makes a nice gift in a mason jar.

Gather all the ingredients.

Place first four ingredients in a pan and simmer on top of the stove for three to four minutes. Remove from heat and add the vanilla.

During the cooking process, your child may request a taste of the cream. Olivia’s comment: “There’s alot of butter in that!”

Transfer to desired container. Sauce will be quite thin until it cools down. (But still delicious!) Usually, the day after I make it, it is nice and thick. All the pictures here were taken the same day it was made.

Enjoy!♥
