CARAMEL PEANUT BUTTER DIP AND FUJI APPLES



Caramel Peanut Butter Dip and Fuji Apples image

Age level: 4 to 6 years Skill level: beginner

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Time 8m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

24 wrapped caramel candies (recommended: Kraft brand) 1/2 of a 14-ounce bag
2 Fuji apples
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup water plus 1 tablespoon
2 tablespoonfuls creamy peanut butter
Pinch ground cinnamon (this is your SECRET ingredient)

Steps:

  • Unwrap candies and place into a bowl.
  • Have your GH cut the Fuji apples into quarters and cut into each quarter to remove the core. The GH should then slice apples into 8 pieces per apple. Count for them and make sure they make even slices. You need 16 slices, total. Squirt some lemon juice into a bowl with 1 cup of water in it. Add the sliced apples and turn them around in the lemon water then drain them in a strainer or colander. Lemon juice is sour, but it's only a tiny bit on lots of apple slices. The apples will still taste sweet and really good. The skin of an apple keeps them from turning brown before you cut them, but apples will turn brown once they are cut up and the air can touch their insides. Lemon juice is acidic. That means that it has special properties in it that can keep apples from turning brown.
  • Add 1 tablespoon water and peanut butter to your caramel candies. Place candies in microwave oven on high for 2 minutes. Stir the dip with a rubber spatula. If the candy is not melted all the way, put it back in the microwave on high for another 20 seconds. Add a pinch of cinnamon to the sauce and stir. DO NOT TELL ANYONE ABOUT THE CINNAMON! Tell your GH not to tell, too. This is your secret ingredient.
  • To serve, place drained, sliced apples next to your caramel and peanut butter dip and start dunking!

PEANUT CARAMEL APPLES

I remember always getting candy and caramel apples at the fair or down the shore when I was a kid. This recipe is a little different with the addition of peanut butter, but just as good or better! If you remember having these as a kid, make them and be a kid again :) Or make them for your kids or grandkids for a treat!

Time 30m

Yield 8-10 caramel apples

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 -10 small apples, at room temperature
1 cup chopped peanuts
1 (14 ounce) package caramels, unwrapped
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons water
wooden craft stick (popsicle sticks)

Steps:

  • Wash and dry apples.
  • Insert stick into stem end of each apple and set aside.
  • Place peanuts in a shallow bowl or pie pan and set aside.
  • In a heavy saucepan, cook caramels, peanut butter and water over low heat until melted and blended, stirring frequently.
  • Remove from heat (you may have to return to heat if mixture starts to set up).
  • Dip and turn each apple in caramel mixture, coating most of the way up.
  • Allow excess to drip into pan.
  • Dip apples in peanuts and place on a waxed paper lined baking sheet or into paper cupcake liners.
  • Store in a cool place or refrigerate.
  • Remove from refrigerator 20 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, crisp apples that will hold their shape when coated in caramel. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
  • Prepare the apples properly: Wash the apples thoroughly and dry them completely. Remove the stems and insert a lollipop stick into the top of each apple.
  • Make the caramel sauce ahead of time: This will give the flavors time to meld and the sauce time to thicken. You can make the caramel sauce up to 2 weeks in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
  • Keep the caramel sauce warm: The caramel sauce will thicken as it cools, so keep it warm over a low heat or in a warm water bath. This will make it easier to coat the apples.
  • Work quickly: The caramel sauce will start to set quickly, so work quickly to coat the apples and add the toppings.

Conclusion:

Peanut caramel apples are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for Halloween, fall parties, or any special occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite toppings. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect peanut caramel apples that will be enjoyed by everyone.
