Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Fill a large bowl half-full with ice.
  2. In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan combine cream, sugar (so caramel will not boil over) shortening, and corn syrup; bring to boil over medium heat. Continue cooking until temperature registers 245F on a candy thermometer, about 12-15 minutes.
  3. 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 a few minutes.
  4. Insert a craft stick in to the stem end of each apple. Dip one 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.
  5. OPTION TOPPINGS: chocolate-covered toffee bits, crushed macadamia nuts, crushed peanuts, seasonal sprinkles, tinted coconut or chopped candy corn.
  6. NOTE: Use 5-inch craft sticks, 1/4-inch in diameter. Serve in seasonal cupcake liners.
