Caramel Apples
Source of Recipe
CRISCO®
Makes 12 apples
Ingredients
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups sugar
1/4 CRISCO® Butter Flavor Stick or 1/4 cup CRISCO® Butter Flavor Shortening
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
12 medium McIntosh apples, washed and stemmed
12 wooden craft sticks
Line baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Fill about half of a large bowl with ice water.
Place cream, sugar, CRISCO Shortening and corn syrup in a heavy-bottomed saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat. Continue cooking until the temperature registers 245°F on a candy thermometer, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and briefly plunge the saucepan into ice water to stop the caramel from cooking. Remove from ice water and let mixture cool for a few minutes.
Insert a craft stick into the stem end of each apple. Dip 1 apple into the caramel; coat the top and sides with caramel using a spoon. Transfer to prepared baking sheet to cool. Repeat with remaining apples.
Optional Toppings Chocolate covered toffee bits, crushed Macadamia nuts, crushed peanuts, seasonal sprinkles, tinted coconut or chopped candy corn.
Note Use 5-inch craft sticks, 1/4-inch in diameter. Garnish as desired, or serve in seasonal cupcake liners.
