Ingredients
- 10 medium tart apples, chilled
- 10 Popsicle sticks
- 2 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
- 2 cups half and half cream
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup butter, cubed
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon
- 2 3/4 cups white baking chips
- 3 Tbsp shortening
Preparation
Step 1
Wash and dry apples; remove stems. Insert Popsicle sticks into the bottoms of the apples. Place on a buttered baking sheet; refrigerate until ready to use.
In a lg heavy saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cream, corn syrup and butter. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, and stir until a candy thermometer read 248F (firm ball stage), about 50 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Dip apples into the hot caramel to completely coat. Place on the prepared pan; let stand until set. (or chill in freezer, just until caramel set)
In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon; set aside. In a microwave, melt white chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip one caramel apple into the warm white chip mixture and immediately sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Place on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat.
