Making Caramel Apples


We had fun today making caramel apples. Hannah poured and measured the milk. Mikayla measured the sugar and poured it in. They took turns stirring. We had to watch the candy thermometer so that it would get to the soft ball level or 242 degrees. Then we had to wait a long 10 min for it to cool before we could dip the apples in. They quickly realized the caramel was too thick to stir their apple in and they had to ask for help from me. It was a struggle for me too.





















They had to wait til after supper to eat their apples. The candy was so hard we couldn't bite through it. We ended up peeling the caramel off the apple and eating the candy and the apple separate. It was fun to make though!
