"First time making caramel apples here and I'm happy to say it was pretty easy. The only issue I had was the caramel that didn't drip off the apple was a little thin for my liking. I guess I could re-dip next time. I doubled the recipe and towards the end while dipping the last few apples, the caramel started to slip off and wouldn't stick. The only thing that I could think of is that the caramel was getting too cool or like another reader mentioned, there's wax on the apples. The dark corn syrup and real maple syrup made these decadent!
