Caramel Sauce for Apple Nachos
- 1 cup Butter
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Light Brown Sugar
- 1 cup Karo Syrup
- 1 14-oz can Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt

Caramel Sauce for Apple Nachos
In a heavy bottomed sauce pot over medium heat, add the butter, sugar, brown sugar, Karo syrup, sweetened condensed milk and salt.
Cook over medium heat, stirring with a flat bottomed wooden spoon or a rubber spatula. Be sure and scrape the bottom of the pan constantly until all of the sugar is dissolved and the butter is melted.
Increase to high heat and cook the caramel mixture, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes, or until it reaches 220 degrees F on a candy thermometer.
Once it reaches 220 degrees, remove from the heat immediately to stop the cooking. Allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes before serving. Or, cool completely and then store.
How to Make Apple Nachos
In a large bowl, add the cold water and lemon juice and mix. Wash, core and slice the apples into thin slices, then add to the lemon water for about 10 minutes before assembling.
After 10 minutes, drain the water and pat the apples dry with a towel.
Arrange the apples on a large baking sheet or platter. Drizzle with Caramel Sauce, then top with crushed Oreos, Butterfingers, mini chocolate chips or any of your favorite toppings. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
