Team chewy! I love this video. Very good tips. Thank you💕

[@kellyw.1779]

Team Soft Caramel and a quick product...woop woop!! I think you rocked it girl, the video was so informative. Really enjoyed it!!🍏🤩🍎

[@danamemeo733]

Hi! I’m loving your videos! I was wondering how many apples the homemade version with the condensed milk makes? I’m doing caramel apples for a festival at a school and have almost 100 apples to do. Trying to figured how many batches I need to do and the recipe for that many. Thank you, your video has been helpful!

[@cassandrafine6373]

Chewy and soft! I learned why my caramel slid off the apples...wow!!! I'll be making caramel apples soon using the La Lechera product. Great info, so thanks!!

[@nnekachapman8336]

I think I'll do the dolce de leche method, but I'll use it with apple slices instead of balls. Great video 💗

[@christinacarrasco7080]

OMG I made the homemade today and it was PERFECTION. The caramels stayed on the apples for the first time EVER! I've used Peter's and had the same problem that you have. I like the La Lechera but it doesn't have the traditional caramel flavor that some people want. It's different. This homemade recipe is soooo good- but I did add a teaspoon of vanilla. Thank you!

[@jessicacollins8412]

You just inspired me to try the homemade recipe even though it is more work. My mom agreed that the dulce de leche taste was not quite the caramel flavor she was looking for!

[@catpride1323]

I've never eaten Dulche de Leche, and was wondering its taste. Thanks for letting me know the Carmel taste is missing.. That would be weird, looking at a caramel apple, expecting that flavor, and it not be there... Your mouth and brain would be so confused... lol

[@louiselemon9717]

I love how you give options w/ the results! OMG, I would love to visit your shop just to see all your gadgets....I'm a big kid🙂

[@ivonnetorrente1656]

Thank you so much for the step by step instructions!!!!!! Super helpful for us newbies! Because I have never done this, I prefer to start off with the dulce de leche. Thanks again!

[@rochellethorpe8164]

Watching your video was awesome. Brought back happy memories. ❤🎉😢bless you

[@rebeccawetherington8331]

I going with team chewy! Thank you for this master class, so helpful! I really do love that you care enough about your followers that you want everyone to be successful! You ROCK!

[@marthahowe2131]

Thank you so much Cristina for this caramel masterclass was amazing and super helpful. I want to try the dulce de leche recipe 🤗❤️

[@melindarodriguez3942]

Hello loves your video! Thank you so much information! I love making the homemade method for sure but I always wanted to know with left over caramel can you reheat?

[@padfootblack34]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I have been having such a bad time with caramel apples, caramel kept sliding off and forget about putting peanuts on them. I took your advice and made them using the dulce de leche and it totally worked! Once again thank you so much for your help. Keep up the good work girl! Btw I love your shoes!

[@jackiereyes8778]

How did you wash your apples? I'm confused if I should boil or just rinse.

[@mercedesochoa522]

Beautiful job! Thanks

[@robinservera6022]

Love your videos. I just made the Dulce de leche apples. Question. Will it harden? Will I be able to bag them???

[@lisaleeper9399]

Thank you! I did not watch this one before asking questions so you have answered it now! Best apples ever! Can you tell us how much coconut oil to put in the choc? And thank you!

[@lisaleeper9399]

You are amazing!!! This recipe for the la lechera is the best ever? Ive been trying to make these for years and now i can!

[@kellyw.1779]

Hey Cristina! Put me on team "Soft" Caramel with the Dulce De Leche recipe...yummy!😁This was an amazing master class, thanks so much for all the information. You have me craving caramel apples now! LOL😋 I can't wait for it to get cooler here in Texas and give this recipe a go! Looking forward to seeing what you have coming next. Take care...Big ((Hugs)) and Love from Texas!!🤗🍏❤

[@lisab2543]

So many great tips. I might try these tomorrow. Could you use this recipe for caramel covered Rice Krispies bars?

[@shayn8206]

Thank you sooo much for clarifying everything!!! I did by the bag apple kit when I made the dulce de leche apples but my family ended up eating them all anyways. So I can save the bags if I make the homemade Caramel apples. I actually prefer the dulce method, it was so easy. 💖💖💖

[@lawanalewis184]

I need u to do an episode on making the little things you put on the front of your hot cocoa cups

[@ameenahhantakas]

Gonna try the la lechera recipe 🤤

[@enjoylife5916]

Oh man I did the vinegar and baking soda rinse for my apples and now I have a ring inside of my brand new pot 🫤 I’ve soaked it and washed it several times and it’s not going away. It definitely took the wax off the apples but I used a different caramel recipe and it still slid off . No idea what the issue is cause I chilled my apples overnight and my caramel tastes delicious.

[@cynthiaorozco4701]

Hi!!!! Do you have a tutorial on the correct way to melt merkins chocolate??

[@maureenhummon26]

I made the homemade caramel. It was delicious, set up great on the apples and was bubble free!! Beautiful!! Thank you!!

[@monicao2947]

Thank you, great video. 💖

[@wendymendoza6105]

Hi, Cristina. I have a question I am a little confuse. ( After boiling in hot water ) do I have to wait the traditional two days before dipping or can I dip the same day? Thank you for your time. your videos are muy bueno. very informative and I learned so much.

[@MariaMorales-xq9xf]

Can I just buy them from you! That looks delicious!

[@OneDanae]

What is the difference between the condensed milk recipe vs the one with heavy cream? Does one break down faster? Is there a major difference in taste?

[@euridicelopez3537]

Hello, thanks for the recipe, but I have a question, how many time can I keep in the refrigerator the homemade caramel??? ❤❤❤

[@lourdestovilla8775]

Buenas tardes Muchas Felicidades por la receta Nada más tengo una pregunta la temperatura es grados farenheith o celsius De antenano muchas gracias Soy de México

[@PropellRealtyMedia]

Can you eat that Peter's caramel out of the box? If so, can I put it inside the cakepops as filling? Thanks

[@InspirateConLynn]

I love your channel.

[@RiyahandBuddy]

Hey Cristina ! i love your channel ! 🤗 I just wanted to ask can we use the soft caramel in the squeeze bottle ? i couldn’t find the Dulce De Leche in the can ONLY in the squeeze bottle and i know it would already be soft so it can come out of the squeeze bottle , so if we were to use that , we wouldn’t have to use the heavy cream ??

[@Brandy-q6c]

Team chewy ❤ love the video. Ty

[@cornellacoppedge5747]

Can you make this with chewy caramel or caramel chips and melt them with heavy cream?

[@lilianarellano3384]

Definitely Dule de Leche

[@elizabethtrejo7568]

How far in advance can the dulce de Leche apples be made?

[@sharlarandolph7802]

Hello, loved the video, thank you sharing!! I have a couple of questions that I hope I can get answered soon. On the Dulce De Leche I know you said something about keeping them in the fridge and the label states place unopen can in fridge. So, I'm guessing that I will not be able to sell these at a pop up festival? Even though it has very little cream in it and it will be cool where prepared and then cool outside. Is there no way around this? Of course I do not want any of my customers getting sick. Just wanting to know with that small of amount of cream is it imperative that they be kept cold until event time ?

[@catpride1323]

I know this question wasn't for me, but I thought maybe I might try and help. The original caramel, thats made from scratch, has 1 cup of heavy cream in it, and they have them on the counter at the fair - so how can that be okay, and a few tablespoons in the Dulche not be okay ?? Just a thought?? 🙄

[@SugarMagicbyCristina]

Sorry for just seeing this now! Both recipes should be kept in the fridge until ready to sell or display at your event, however they can be kept out for a few hours at the location🤗 I have aftercare instructions about refrigeration of caramel apples in my updated video on how long treats last- also either one can be sold depending on your preference, I mentioned the heavy cream recipe is more ideal for selling since it is a chewy caramel that is more firm/stable and the dulce de leche is softer set but the dulce de leche can be sold as well- both follow the same protocol for refrigerating up until ready to display🍏 hope that makes sense ➡️ apples are shown at 7:43 in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIOao2qmZpySasksi=ntWz0CmZNgDbxzVk

what if the chocolate has a haze after setting on the apple

[@softballmom332]

Thank you so much. Are you in NY? I’m in Massachusetts but I’ve been to that Farm I love it there. You need to come to Massachusetts we have awesome Apple picking here.

[@SugarMagicbyCristina]

You are very welcome Miss! I'm happy if you learned something new from the video, and yes you spotted Harbes Orchard🍎🤗 I don't have any Orchards nearby so it was a little bit of a trip,, but I was excited to go Apple Picking for the first time! 🍂 I'm sure the Apple Picking is beautiful in Massachusetts! 2 years ago I visited the farm in Lancaster Pennsylvania and loved it 💕

[@softballmom332]

@@SugarMagicbyCristina I loved your video as usual, well let me know if you ever travel to Massachusetts I’m a RN I have weekends off so if you ever come this way I could show you around Boston, you would love it.

Do you live in LI? I lived on the North Fork for 12 years. My son still lives there. Been to Harbes many times !!

I also would love to know, its adorable... 😊

[@catpride1323]

So us Canadians cannot buy the Dulche de Leche in a can, but i heard if you take a can of condensed milk and leave it in how water for like an hour or something it makes Dulche de Leche. So if i made that, could i then use that to cover the apples?? If anyone knows, I appreciate your help.. 😊

[@SugarMagicbyCristina]

Hello! Yes my canadian followers have mentioned your dilemma, I have tried that before and from experience, the homemade version is more runny and doesn't coat the apples the same as the canned product or give the same results unfortunately- I can try modifying that method to experiment and see how it can work and yield good results 🤗 but you are welcome to try it out💕

[@GymnastSummerLevell_2027]

Team chewy. Love the home made product.

[@virimoran8067]

How long should apples dry before putting in bag? Mines stick to the bag 😭

[@SugarMagicbyCristina]

Hello love , I'm sorry that happened to you! If you're referring to the dulce de leche recipe, I mentioned at 15:00 that I recommend packaging in boxes plus other aftercare tips- although the caramel firms up in a few days, being that they are softer set the caramel can smudge💕🍏 I recommend clear candy apple boxes to prevent that from happening

[@talktimewithemarie]

Hello, My community is having an a fall event this weekend. I would love to sell some caramel apples. Would you recommend putting the apples in a treat bag versus a box? This will be my first time making caramel apples. The event is this Saturday when should I make the apples by?

[@krystelscooking]

I’m a new follower but I love all of the videos I’ve watched so far! I would like to ship some apples but I would like to know if anyone has tried shipping them before and if so did they do the Apple boxes or bags? I’m thinking the boxes would be better for shipping right?
