INSTRUCTIONS
Apple Bourbon Caramel
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, pour in sweetened condensed milk, corn syrup, and add in brown sugar.
- Using a whisk or rubber spatula, stir all ingredients over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Scrape the sides and bottom regularly.
- Let the sauce simmer until the temperature reaches 200-205 degrees. We are just making a sauce and so we need to simmer it long enough to get the granulation out, but not take it to soft ball stage.
- Once it has reached temperature, remove from heat and carefully stir in the vanilla, apple bourbon, and salt. Stir it until it is all well combined.
- Let cool and then pour into jars for storage. Shelf stable for up to 1 month.
Apple Nachos
- Using a washed, clean apple- slicing from the exterior to the interior, cut thin cross sections of the apple until you get to the core, Change directions and cut all the way around the apple to make the apple chips.
- Spread the apple slices on a plate and drizzle with the caramel sauce and toppings that you desire and enjoy!
NOTES
If you can’t find apple bourbon, you can use plain bourbon to make the caramel sauce. You may also completely omit it altogether if you don’t want to use bourbon.Top the apple nachos with whatever you like! Mini Marshmallows, chocolate chips, peanut butter drizzle, toffee bits and more! The ideas are endless!
