Ingredients:
canola oil, for frying |
14 ounces caramel candies, unwrapped |
1/4 cup butterscotch chips |
1/4 cup milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 eggs |
1 cup seltzer water |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus 1/2 cup to dredge apples |
1 teaspoon cream of tartar |
4 granny smith apples, peeled and cored, cut into thirds |
12 wooden pop sticks |
cinnamon sugar, for garnish |
Directions:
1. In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat enough canola oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 375 degrees F.
2. In a medium-sized, heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat, add the caramels, butterscotch chips, milk and vanilla. Cook, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula, until well incorporated, melted, and smooth, about 8 to 10 minutes. Keep warm.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, seltzer, 1 1/2 cups of flour, and cream of tartar. Skewer the apples onto wooden sticks. Dredge the apples, first in 1/2 cup flour, and then into the batter. Fry the apples, in batches, in the deep-fryer until crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Pour the caramel sauce into a small bowl. Dust the apples with cinnamon sugar and serve with the caramel sauce.
