Yield 8 caramel apples.

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 medium Red Delicious apples
8 Popsicle sticks
2-1/4 cups packed brown sugar
3/4 cup butter, cubed
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 cup maple syrup
1-1/2 teaspoons molasses
Dash salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chopped salted peanuts and red-hot candies
4 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Wash and dry apples; remove stems. Insert Popsicle sticks into bottoms of apples. Place on a buttered baking sheet; refrigerate until ready to use., In a large heavy saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, milk, corn syrup, maple syrup, molasses and salt. Stir with a wooden spoon over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until a candy thermometer reads 248° (firm-ball stage). Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla., Dip apples, one at a time, into caramel and then into an ice-water bath for 1-2 seconds to set caramel. Dip apples in peanuts; place on the buttered baking sheet. Press red-hot candies onto apples as desired., In a microwave, melt white chocolate; stir until smooth. Transfer to a small resealable plastic bag; cut a hole in a corner of the bag. Drizzle over apples. Repeat with semisweet chocolate. Decorate with additional nuts and candies as desired. Let stand until set.

The caramel apples were a bit too tart for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use a sweeter apple next time.

The caramel apples were a bit too hard to bite into, but they were still delicious. I think I would cook the caramel for a little less time next time.

These caramel apples were easy to make and turned out great! I used Granny Smith apples and they held up well to the caramel.
