The Perfect Combination of Sweet and Tangy
Ingredients:
- 6 medium-sized apples
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup crushed candy canes
- 6 wooden sticks
Instructions:
1. Start by washing and drying the apples thoroughly. Remove the stems and insert the wooden sticks into the top of each apple.
2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add in the brown sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined.
3. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture should thicken and turn a golden brown color.
4. Dip each apple into the caramel mixture, making sure to coat it evenly. Use a spoon to help cover any missed spots.
5. Place the crushed candy canes into a shallow dish. Roll the caramel-coated apples in the candy canes until they are fully covered.
6. Place the apples onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them cool for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
7. Once cooled, your Christmas caramel apples are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them as a sweet and tangy dessert or wrap them up as a festive gift for your loved ones.
Tips and Tricks:
- For an extra festive touch, you can use green and red candy sprinkles instead of crushed candy canes.
- If you want a smoother caramel texture, you can substitute heavy cream with milk.
- To prevent the caramel from sticking to the parchment paper, spray it lightly with cooking spray before placing the apples on it.
- You can also drizzle melted white chocolate over the caramel apples for added sweetness and decoration.
With just a few simple ingredients and easy steps, you can create a batch of delicious Christmas caramel apples that will be the highlight of your holiday gatherings. So go ahead and give this recipe a try, and watch everyone’s faces light up with joy and delight. Happy holidays!
