Caramel apples are a real treat, and this caramel apple recipe is very easy to follow. It is important to have a candy thermometer, though.Fun is what you will have when you make these easy caramel apples! I watched a group of young girls making these caramel apple recipe and the results were as diverse as each individual making them.
Chopsticks are used for the "sticks" which turns out to be very sturdy for dipping and eating. | |
Melted Chocolate can be used for a nice contrast, and of course, we all LOVE chocolate, don't we.Try white chocolate and dark chocolate for artsy streaks and swirls.
Caramel Apples | Caramel Apple Recipe | | | | | | 1 lb | | dark brown sugar | | | 1 cup | | unsalted butter | | | 14 oz | | sweetened condensed milk | | | 2/3 cup | | dark corn syrup | | | 1/3 cup | | maple syrup | | | 1 1/2 tsp | | vanilla | | | 1 tsp | | molasses | | | 12 | | chopsticks | | | 12 | | apples | | | | assorted decorations such as, mini m&ms, sprinkles, etc | | | | | | | 1 | Combine the first 8 ingredients into a heavy saucepan. Stir with wooden spatula over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Occasionally scrape down the sides. | | 2 | Apply a clip-on type candy thermometer to the side of the pan. Increase heat to medium-high and cook caramel at a rolling boil until the thermometer reads 236*, stirring constantly. This should take about 10-12 minutes. | | 3 | Pour the caramel into a metal bowl. Submerge the thermometer into the caramel and cool to 200*, this should take about 20 minutes. | | 4 | While the caramel cools, line a baking sheet with foil. Spray the foil with non-stick spray. | | 5 | Push one chopstick into the base of each apple. Get your decorations ready in small bowls. | | 6 | Holding the chopstick, dip each apple into the 200* caramel, submerging all but the very top and rolling apple to coat well. Let the excess caramel drip off over the bowl. Turn the apple right side up and hold a few seconds to help set. Place the coated apple on the prepared foil. Repeat with the remaining apples. Leave space between each apple on the foil. | | 7 | If the caramel becomes too thick to dip into, whisk 1-2 teaspoons of whipping cream into it, and reheat a little. | | 8 | Let the apples set for 15 minutes. Lift an apple off the foil and using your hands, firmly place the decorations on the apple as desired. Return the apple to the foil and repeat with the rest of the apples. | | 9 | Chill until the decorations are set. These will keep up to a week in the refrigerator. | | 10 | NOTE: After setting the caramel, dip each apple halfway into melted chocolate for a dramatic look. And even roll the chocolate dipped apple in nuts for a more elegant look. | | | | | Servings: 12 | | | | Nutrition Facts | | Serving size: 1 serving | | Percent daily values based on a 2000 calorie diet. | | Nutrition information calculated from recipe ingredients. | | The following ingredients were not linked to the ingredient database and were not included in the nutrition information: | | chopsticks | | assorted decorations such as, mini m&ms, sprinkles, etc | | | | | | | | | Amount Per Serving | | | | | Calories | | 572.90 | | | Calories From Fat (30%) | | 171.37 | | | | | % Daily Value | | Total Fat 19.49g | | 30% | | | Saturated Fat 12.20g | | 61% | | | Cholesterol 55.82mg | | 19% | | | Sodium 78mg | | 6% | | | Potassium 476.65mg | | 14% | | | Carbohydrates 101.12g | | 34% | | | Dietary Fiber 3.31g | | 13% | | | Sugar 95.19g | | | | | Sugar Alcohols 0.00g | | | | | Net Carbohydrates 97.81g | | | | | Protein 4.05g | | 8% | | | | | | | | | | | | |
