Does anyone have a recipe for caramel apples that doesn't include soy yogurt, powder, etc? I can't get any of that stuff locally. The only thing I have to work with is rice, soy, or almond milk. I am REALLY craving these. I almost broke down and bought some of the ones displayed in the supermarket(a major no-no:p).

I found this one online. Just replace soy milk with rice milk - I 've always done that with recipes and never had a problem. Vegan Caramel Apples

We are supposed to peel the apples right (I have not looked at the recipe yet)? I was trying to think of some new way of getting the caramel apple thing with it.

Yes, peeled apples are easier to digest. I'm not sure if caramel will stick to a peel apple. You could peel and slice the apple into wedges, then use the caramel sauce as a dip.

This time of year I make a caramel sauce to dunk apple slices into but it is not thick enough to make caramel apples on a stick (we shouldn't eat peels anyway). It is 2 cans lite coconut milk and 1 1/2c brown sugar with a pinch of salt. Boil in a non-stick frying pan till it thickens enough to cling to an apple slice ok.
It is also good on ice cream and baked into brownies etc.

Sounds yummy, but isn't coconut milk a trigger? Could it be replaced with soy or almond milk? If so, how much? I would love to try this.

No it can't be subbed. The lite coconut milk will add more fat than could be eaten alone, but eaten as a condiment with a full stomach it is fine. Coconut is very healthy in fact but the fat has to be handled with care. I eat coconut milk all the time as a great dairy substitute.

What sorts of foods do you eat coconut milk with? Do you pour it on cereal or oatmeal?

Sometimes I make rice 'pudding' with a mix of soy and coconut milk and sugar, cinnamon etc. I make this with leftover rice when camping using soy milk in the little asceptic juice box type boxes.
I also make curries a lot and cook Thai at least once a week. I posted a soup recipe some time ago with shrimp, some coconut milk, spinach etc. It is very low in fat. As long as the total recipe is low in fat it is ok. But beware; one time I made peanut sauce with coconut milk and served it on noodles with chicken and veggies. I used to make it all the time. But one time I had peanutty soy ice cream for dessert- together it was too much and I got D.
Right now I am eating a vegetarian curry made in the crockpot. It had lots of veggies, chickpeas and a little broth. After cooking, lite coconut milk and spinach is stirred in and it is served over rice. That is an acceptable amount of fat-without the rice it probably would be too high in fat.
I also use coconut milk in blended soups like creamy squash soup in place of cream. It has to have the right flavor profile to sub coconut milk.
I make a french toast with coconut milk too. Some good baguette left out overnight, sliced, soak in egg whites and lite coconut milk (can thin with soy milk) and cardamom. Then I take chopped fresh pineapple, more cardamom and maple syrup and heat in a pan to pour on top. It is best to not top french toast and pancakes with margarine.
Lite coconut milk can be used in baking too. I posted a recipe once for bananas, coc milk and cake mix. Lite coconut milk has much less fat than oil, so used carefully it can be the 25% or less fat our food can contain.
