Ingredients
- 15 to 20 large Granny Smith apples
- Assorted chopped candies or nuts, for coating
- 1 (1-pound) box dark brown sugar
- 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions
- Skewer the stem-end of the apples with popsicle sticks. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with wax paper. Place desired coatings in large shallow bowls.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, milk, corn syrup, maple syrup, vanilla, molasses and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil until it registers 236 degrees F on a candy thermometer, about 10 minutes. Immediately pour the caramel into a heatproof bowl; let cool to 200 degrees F.
- Dip the apples in the desired coatings. Transfer to the prepared baking sheets to set and let cool completely.
