Apples on sticks dipped in cooked caramel Ingredients:
8 apples, small to medium size, room temperature |
1 cup heavy cream, divided |
3/4 cup corn syrup, clear |
1/2 cup butter |
1 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Wash and completely dry the apples. Insert a stick (I use tongue depressors) into the stem end of each apple.
2. Cut 8 squares of waxed paper big enough to wrap the apple after cooled. Butter each square lightly.
3. Fit a heavy bottomed saucepan with a candy thermometer. Over high heat, cook 3/4 cup of the cream, the corn syrup, butter and sugar to 280 degrees F (firm ball); at this point the syrup will be golden. Remove from heat and carefully swirl in the remaining 1/4 cup cream and the vanilla. While the caramel is hot dip and turn the apples til coated, placing them one at a time in the middle of a waxed paper square. leaving them on the squares chill until caramel is set then bring paper up around apple and twist around stick. Options; dip in nuts or chopped choc chips.
