Ingredients
6 Servings
- 6 apples
- 400 g granulated sugar
- 120 ml heavy cream
- 120 ml light corn syrup
- 1 pinch salt
- 60 g unsalted butter
- 5 ml vanilla extract
- 60 ml water
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Insert a wooden stick into the top of each apple.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Step 3
Stop stirring and cook until the mixture turns a golden caramel color.
Step 4
Remove from heat and carefully stir in the unsalted butter, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble up.
Step 5
Let the caramel cool slightly before dipping the apples. Dip each apple into the caramel, allowing the excess to drip off.
Step 6
Place the caramel-coated apples on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set. Let them cool and harden before serving.
