CARAMEL FILING FOR CAKES TARTS AND DESSERTS

Steps:

• Place brown sugar, golden syrup, and butter in a heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat. Stir until all the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Pro tip - Stir often and the heat to medium otherwise the sugar around the edges will burn and give the caramel a burnt taste.
• Reduce the heat and continue to cook until the mixture becomes darker in color. This takes about 2 to 3 minutes. Pro tip - once all the moisture has evaporated the sugar will start to caramelize further. This will give the caramel a deeper color.
• Next, reduce the heat to low. Add the condensed milk and let come to a boil on low heat again. Pro tip- when you add the condensed milk the mixture may appear curdled or separated but just combine and it will all become smooth.
• Cook on low for about another minute or two stirring constantly. The mixture will get thicker. Add the vanilla extract and take it off the heat. Pro tip - we want a smooth creamy texture that coats the back of a spoon.
• Set aside to cool slightly before you pour into a mason jar or fill a tart. Pro tip - The mixture will continue to thicken as it cools. You can pour warm caramel into a tart to help it smooth out easily.
• Enjoy!

CARAMEL APPLE PIE FILLING (OAMC)

Steps:

• Peel, core, and slice apples. Should be about 6 cups of apples when sliced. Toss with lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
• Cover or place into a resealable bag and allow flavors to mingle for 30 minutes.
• In a heavy bottomed saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar together. Stir frequently. Heat on medium heat until mixture starts to bubble. Add salt.
• Add apple mixture and all of the juices. Allow mixture to come to a gentle boil, lower heat and allow to simmer, stirring often, until the firmest apples start to soften. Cooking time can be adjusted to suit your preference for apple texture. My family likes their apples on the softer side, so I let it cook until the firmest apples are fork tender.
• If there is a lot of liquid, add 1 teaspoon of cornstarch and stir through. Let this simmer a bit longer because the cornstarch will not thicken unless the liquid is at a boil.
• Ladle into a prepared quart jar with at least 1" headspace and proceed with sealing. Or ladle into a container for freezing. 1 quart will fill one pie generously.
