I have such a sweet tooth that Iâve been known to make a dessert just to satisfy my craving. One day when I was in the mood for caramel, I came up with these fun treats. âClarissa Loyd, Mineral Wells, Texas Ingredients:
6 medium red delicious apples |
6 popsicle sticks |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup light corn syrup |
1/4 cup water |
pinch baking soda |
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream |
1/2 cup shelled pistachios, chopped, divided |
3 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped |
3 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped |
Directions:
1. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and grease the paper; set aside. Wash and thoroughly dry apples. Insert a Popsicle stick into each; place on prepared pan. Chill.
2. In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup and water; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Stir in baking soda. Stir in butter until melted; gradually add cream, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until a candy thermometer reads 242° (firm-ball stage). Remove from heat and cool to 200°.
3. Place 1/4 cup pistachios in a shallow dish. Dip apples into caramel mixture until completely coated, then dip the bottom of each in pistachios. Return to baking sheet; chill.
4. In a microwave, melt white chocolate; stir until smooth. Transfer to a small heavy-duty resealable plastic bag; cut a small hole in a corner of bag. Drizzle over apples. Repeat with semisweet chocolate. Sprinkle tops with remaining pistachios if desired. Chill until set. Yield: 6 servings.
