How to Make Apple Caramel Syrup

  1. Peel, core, and roughly chop 4 cups of tart apples (about 3 medium).
  2. In a medium saucepan, cook the apples over medium heat until very soft and mushy, about 10-15 minutes. Mash with a potato masher or immersion blender.
  3. Stir in 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light corn syrup (Karo), and ½ cup caramel topping (such as Mrs. Richardson's).
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes. The syrup will thicken slightly.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  6. Pour the hot syrup into sterilized pint jars, leaving ½ inch headspace.
  7. Process in a boiling water bath for 30 minutes to ensure a proper seal (optional, but recommended for long-term storage).
