- Serves:

8
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
- Wash and completely dry the apples. Insert a stick (I use tongue depressors) into the stem end of each apple.
- Cut 8 squares of waxed paper big enough to wrap the apple after cooled. Butter each square lightly.
- 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.

This was my first attempt at caramel apples and it turned out DELICIOUS!!! This recipe was easy to follow, easy to do, and produced a yummy result! The only problem I had was when I started rolling the apples in toppings; the candies wanted to all slide to the bottom of the apple. But it was my first time and I'm sure it will look much nicer next time; practice makes perfect! I think next time I will let the caramel dipped apples slightly cool before rolling! Great tasting recipe though!!! Thanks for sharing!!! :) -

Training culinary:2 years culinary school Houston Community College (downtwn branch highly recommend) French pastry and artisan breads. I am immersed in family, spouse and everything homeside. it is now my time having retired, to do all the fun things I couldn't do while working. I believe life is most bountiful when we serve others. I also believe the best cooks are those who cook and bake with a love of making people happy. I especially enjoy sending cookies to our soldiers in Iraq. It is a joy to read their letters and emails of appreciation for a taste of home. I also love sewing, upholstery, gardening,church activities and remodeling take up the time not spent with family. I hope I can be as helpful to the cooks on Recipezaar as they have been helpful to me. When time permits I love to test and review recipes on this site that appeal to me. I am also a believer in power naps.
