Description
A simple sweet treat for fall and parties, featuring crunchy apples coated in homemade caramel.
Ingredients
- Fresh apples
- Sugar
- Heavy cream
- Butter
- Vanilla extract
- Pecans
- Dark chocolate
Instructions
- Begin by making the caramel: In a saucepan, combine sugar, heavy cream, butter, and vanilla extract. Cook over low heat until the mixture is golden brown and reaches a soft-ball stage.
- While the caramel cooks, prepare the apples by washing and drying them thoroughly.
- Once the caramel is ready, carefully dip each apple into the caramel, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Roll the caramel-coated apple in chopped pecans.
- Melt dark chocolate and drizzle over the caramel apples for finishing touches.
- Let the apples cool and harden before serving.
Notes
Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a better balance with the sweet caramel. Wrap each apple in plastic wrap or place in an airtight container to store.
