Gather and measure all your ingredients.
Melt the butter over low heat.
Stir in the corn syrup, condensed milk, and brown sugar until combined.
Keep stirring until the mixture starts to thicken and bubble slightly.
Remove your homemade caramel sauce for apples from the heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Serve and enjoy your homemade caramel dip for apples warm or at room temperature!

This is a quick caramel sauce recipe, so you don't need to bring the mixture to a full boil. Otherwise, it will thicken too much and won’t be ideal for dipping.
The sweet, rich, and salty flavor of this caramel for dipping apples pairs perfectly with thick, tangy cream cheese! Just combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup of light brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, spread the mixture in a shallow dish, and top with your homemade salted caramel sauce.
If you want to prep ahead and aren’t serving the apples right away, make a bowl of cold, salted water using 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt per cup. Soak the apple slices for 5 minutes, drain, and store them in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.
