COCONUT CARAMEL APPLES

Steps:

• Step 1 Attach candy thermometer to medium heavy saucepot over medium heat. Add butter to pot. Using wooden spoon or heat-proof spatula, stir until butter is melted. Add brown sugar and sweetened condensed milk to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to full boil. Using pastry brush dipped in cold water, brush off any sugar mixture stuck to sides of pan. Stir in cream of coconut. Return mixture to boil. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, and cleaning sides of pan with wet pastry brush, until caramel reaches 245°F on candy thermometer. Step 2 Remove pot from heat. Carefully remove candy thermometer from pot; set aside. Carefully pour caramel mixture into heat-proof bowl. Return candy thermometer to bowl with caramel; let sit until caramel cools and registers 220°F on candy thermometer. Step 3 Meanwhile, stick apples through stem hole with Popsicle sticks or chop sticks. Dip apple into caramel mixture, swirling to coat completely, allowing excess caramel to drip back into bowl. Transfer apple to baking tray lined with buttered parchment or wax paper. (Note: Some caramel with pool at bottom of apple). Repeat with remaining caramel and apples. Step 4 Transfer shredded coconut to dish, if desired. Press shredded coconut onto caramel apples until coated, if desired. Step 5 Transfer caramel apples to refrigerator until chilled. Place apples in cellophane bags and tie with ribbon, if desired. Store in refrigerator, covered, for up to 4 days.

CARAMEL APPLES

Steps:

• Add the sugar, corn syrup and 1/2 cup water to a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir a few times before the sugar begins to boil to combine the ingredients. Attach a candy thermometer to the inside of the pan and bring the syrup to a boil. Cook until the syrup begins to turn an amber color, then swirl the syrup to even out the color. Continue to cook until the syrup is a deep amber and the thermometer reads between 375 and 380 degrees F, then remove from the heat. Carefully pour in the cream and gently whisk to combine. Stir in the butter, vanilla and a pinch of salt until smooth. Keep off the heat but keep the thermometer attached to the pan.
• Pierce the apples through the stem ends about halfway through with candy apple sticks. Line a baking sheet with parchment and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• When the temperature of the caramel reads around 190 degrees F, dip an apple, using the stick as a handle and swirling to coat completely. Allow excess caramel to drip off the bottom and use a spatula to help remove any large amount of caramel, as it will pool around the apple when you set it down to cool on the lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining apples, gently heating the caramel on the stovetop over low heat, stirring, if it gets too thick for dipping. Allow the caramel to set and cool completely before serving or wrapping apples, about 1 hour. (See Cook's Note.)

• Brush an 8-inch baking dish generously with coconut oil or coat with cooking spray. Sprinkle about 3 to 4 tablespoons of toasted coconut in an even layer on the bottom of the pan, and set aside.
• In a medium heavy saucepan, combine the coconut cream, sugar, corn syrup and sea salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Boil, stirring frequently especially toward the end, until a candy thermometer reaches 250 degrees and caramel is a light golden brown and thickened, about 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the ginger and cardamom.
• Pour the caramel into the prepared pan. Once the caramel stops bubbling and the surface forms a thin skin, about 3 minutes, sprinkle another 4 tablespoons toasted coconut across the surface. Allow to cool at room temperature and set completely, about 2 hours.
