Homemade Caramel Apple Dip

We made this dip tonight and it was very tasty.  The original recipe had the heat settings higher than what I'm posting and my sauce started to burn after just a minute or two, so make sure to watch it.  I just stopped cooking right there and it was a bit grainy from the undissolved sugar, but it tasted delicious.  I think cooking it slower over lower heat will solve that problem next time.

Homemade Caramel Apple Dip

• 6 Tbsp butter
• 3/4 c. brown sugar
• 1/3 c. honey (heaping)
• 1 can (14-oz) sweetened condensed milk

1. Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring constantly (will take 5-10 minutes).  Make sure it doesn’t start to burn – if you smell it burning, just stop here (it will be a tiny bit grainy, but still yummy).
3. Lower heat to low and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly (it will burn if not stirred constantly).
4. Remove from heat, let cool a bit and then pour into a serving bowl and serve warm.
5. Refrigerate any leftovers. Microwave a few seconds to soften before using again.

Makes about 2 cups
