(recipe) apples in caramel

The apple season is here!!!

My kids had fun making these apples in caramel.

Here's the recipe that i used:

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, cubed

• 2 cups packed brown sugar

• 1 cup light corn syrup

• Dash salt

• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 10 to 12 Popsicle sticks

• 10 to 12 medium tart apples, washed and dried

• 1 cup salted peanuts, chopped

Directions

• In a large heavy saucepan, melt butter; add the brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil, about 10-12 minutes. Stir in milk. Cook and stir until a candy thermometer reads 248° (firm-ball stage). Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla.

• Insert Popsicle sticks into apples. Dip each apple into hot caramel mixture; turn to coat. Dip bottom of apples into peanuts. Place on greased waxed paper until set. Yield: 10-12 apples.

Editor's Note: We recommend that you test your candy thermometer before each use by bringing water to a boil; the thermometer should read 212°. Adjust your recipe temperature up or down based on your test..

 

Enjoy,
