Instructions
- In a saucepan, bring coconut milk and maple syrup to a boil over medium-high heat. Be sure to stir frequently to make sure it doesn’t burn.
- Once at a boil, reduce to a simmer and let boil until reduced to desired consistency (this will take at least 30 minutes for it to begin to thicken and may need longer depending on how thick you would like). Stir occasionally to continue to keep from burning to the bottom.
- Once to desired consistency, remove from heat and stir in coconut oil and vanilla. Stir occasionally to keep coconut oil incorporated.
- Once at room temperature, drizzle caramel over or submerge apples in caramel. Place on parchment paper and let chill in refrigerator.
- Enjoy!
