when cooking your caramel you want to have a hi temp candy thermometer. do not take the temp over 244 degrees. at this temp you will have a good caramel perfect for dipping apples or pretzels. you do want to let the caramel "setup"(rest) for on average 10 minutes after the cooking process. if you want softer caramel just reduce the cook temp. for sauce i suggest stopping at approx 212-214 degrees. the higher the temperature the harder the caramel will be.
The ideal temperature for caramel to reach the perfect consistency is around 320F (160C).
Sugar is essentially a solid form raw caramel. once sugar is melted, it is cooked. that is where caramel comes from. you cannot 'un-cook' something. so after it is caramel you can't change it back to sugar. but, if the caramel is in a solid form, you can melt it back to a liquid form.
Caramel reaches the soft ball stage at a temperature of 235-240 degrees Fahrenheit.
To make caramel for caramel apples, you can melt sugar and butter in a saucepan, then add cream and vanilla extract. Cook the mixture until it reaches the desired consistency, then dip your apples in the caramel and let them cool before enjoying.
Caramel is made by heating sugars to about 170C. The heating process breaks down the sugar molecules and they reform as caramel at that temperature
To make caramel thicker, you can cook it for a longer period of time or add a thickening agent like cornstarch or cream. Stirring the caramel constantly while it cooks can also help it thicken.
