Question

Can I pour the melted caramel over an hot apple pie out of the oven?

ArtBrained

Community Answer

After the pie is done cooking and cooling on the counter is the best time to do this, otherwise the caramel runs the risk of burning in the oven and burnt sugar is the worst mess to clean up.

Question

Can I lay it on my oblong pan with foil, then pour caramel on it and let it mold, then cut a square?

Community Answer

You can, but use wax paper or silicone instead of foil. I've had it stick in the past and cleaning it up was a mess. If you're set on using foil, butter/palm/vegetable shortening are best.

Question

Can I use half and half?

ArtBrained

Community Answer

Yes, the final product won't be as thick as if you'd used heavy cream, so just do this if you're planning on making caramel sauces.

Question

I want to layer caramel in a banana pudding. Should I use a sauce consistency?

Community Answer

Yes, using a sauce consistency will ensure the even spreading of the caramel. While a different consistency will yield the same flavor, it will result in a different texture.
