âI love caramel apples and this is my favorite variation. It also makes a delicious gift for loved ones all year 'round. My family says it's fabulous!â âAnna Ogden, Logan, Utah Ingredients:
10 medium tart apples |
10 popsicle sticks |
2-1/4 cups packed brown sugar |
2 cups half-and-half cream |
1 cup light corn syrup |
1 cup butter, cubed |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon |
2-3/4 cups white baking chips |
3 tablespoons shortening |
Directions:
1. Wash and dry apples; remove stems. Insert Popsicle sticks into the bottoms of apples. Place on a buttered baking sheet; refrigerate until ready to use.
2. In a large heavy saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cream, corn syrup and butter. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until a candy thermometer reads 248° (firm-ball stage), about 50 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Dip apples into the hot caramel to completely coat. Place on prepared pan; let stand until set.
3. In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon; set aside. In a microwave, melt white chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip one caramel apple into the warm white chip mixture and immediately sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Place on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat. Yield: 10 servings.
