Time 1h42m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 cup softened butter
1 (7.4 ounce) box apple cider drink mix (such as Alpine® Spiced Apple Cider)
1 cup white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (14 ounce) package caramel bits (such as Kraft®)

Steps:

  • Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and baking powder together in a bowl.
  • Combine butter, apple cider drink mix, sugar, and salt together in another bowl. Beat using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Add the flour mixture gradually; mix until just combined. Refrigerate dough for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples. Firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp hold their shape well when cooked and provide a nice contrast to the sweet caramel.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot. This will help prevent the caramel from burning.
  • Cook the caramel slowly. Stirring constantly, cook the caramel over medium heat until it reaches the desired color and thickness.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. Cook the apples in batches if necessary to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Serve the apples warm. Spiced caramel apples are best enjoyed warm, but they can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Conclusion:

Sweet spiced caramel apples are a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a festive and flavorful snack that everyone will love. These apples are perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply enjoying at home. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these spiced caramel apples a try. You won't be disappointed!
