Ingredients

- ⅓ cup salted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½-1 teaspoon coarse sea salt*

Instructions
- In a medium sauce pan, melt butter on medium-low heat. Add caramels and sweetened condensed milk. With a rubber spatula, mix as the milk and butter warm up and the caramels melt.50 Werther's Soft Caramels, ⅓ cup salted butter, 7 oz sweetened condensed milk (half of a can)
- If the caramels aren't melting, slowly raise the temperature until they do. Don't raise it above medium heat, and if it starts to bubble before all of the caramels are melted, the pan is too hot. Turn down immediately and keep stirring.
- Once all the ingredients are well incorporated (it'll take a minute for the butter to mix well with the caramels), remove from heat and add in vanilla extract and fine sea salt. Mix well.1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- Move caramel to a serving dish, top with some coarse sea salt and chocolate chips, if you choose.½-1 teaspoon coarse sea salt*, ½ cup chocolate chips (optional)**
- After slicing apples, mix together 2 tablespoons of water and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Coat the apples with the lemon mixture to keep them from browning quickly. Enjoy!3-4 apples
Notes
*The coarse sea salt adds some extra saltiness and texture, but add to your preference. Some like this dip to be saltier than others.
**I thought to add chocolate chips after already digging in to this dip--the chocolate definitely takes it up a notch!
