Time 8h1m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 -3 green apples

Steps:

  • Take out that crock pot.
  • It is important to use either a saucer or a little bowl like I did - so the can does not leave a rust ring on the bottom of your crockpot.
  • Once the can is in place fill up the crock pot with water till it covers the top of the can.
  • Put the crock pot on low for 8 hours :)
  • With tongs take the can out of the water and let sit for 30 minutes ( it is going to be plenty hot).
  • Slice apples into wedges.
  • Open the can - stir and enjoy by dipping the apples into the caramel.

CARAMEL SAUCE IN CROCKPOT, SUPER EASY!



Caramel Sauce in Crockpot, Super Easy! image

My very good friend Jana McK. gave me this recipe for the stove top. I have adapted it for the crock pot. It makes for a super easy, no fuss caramel dipping sauce. Great for fruit, nuts and even pretzels. Only 2 ingredients. Remember crock pots vary in their heat intensities. Mine gets very hot on high. Finally, you might want to line the crockpot with those disposable liners to make it easier to clean up the sticky glue from the can and make sure you wait until the can is warm, not hot or the "sauce" will explode.
