Caramel Filled Apples Recipe 375 Food

PERFECT CARAMEL APPLES

Steps:

• Mix 2 cups sugar, 1/4 cup light corn syrup and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring just until the sugar dissolves. Cook, swirling the pan (do not stir), until the mixture is light amber and a candy thermometer registers 320 degrees, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat; slowly whisk in 1/2 cup heavy cream, then 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Return to low heat and whisk until smooth. Let cool until the caramel is thick enough to coat a spoon. Insert sticks into the stem ends of 6 apples and dip the apples into the caramel, letting the excess drip off. Roll in toppings if desired, then let cool on a parchment-lined baking sheet coated with cooking spray.

CARAMEL FILLED APPLES RECIPE - (3.7/5)

Steps:

• Cut the apples in half lengthwise. Using a melon baller, scoop out the inside of the apples, taking care to create a shell of even thickness. Set apple halves into cups of a muffin pan and squeeze or brush lemon juice onto cut apples to reduce browning. Place in fridge until filling is ready. To a medium saucepan, add water and caramels and heat until caramels are melted. Fill each apple cup with caramel mixture. Refrigerate a few hours or overnight. To serve, place apples flesh-down (caramel down) on cutting board. Cut lengthwise in half, then in half again. Trim off any brown parts with a paring knife. Serve immediately. (The lemon juice can only prevent the browning for so long).

CARAMEL APPLES

Steps:

• Rinse and dry the apples. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Push one stick into the top of each apple, then place on the baking sheet with the stick standing straight up.
• Place the cookies in a large resealable plastic bag and roll with a rolling pin to crush. Set aside.
• In a large saucepan over low heat, combine the sugar, buttermilk, butter, baking soda, and vanilla and bring just to a boil, stirring constantly. Attach a candy thermometer to the pan, and continue to boil and stir until the mixture reaches 238 degrees F, 15 to 17 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Dip each apple, one at a time, immediately into the caramel, leaving a 1/4-inch ring of green by the stick, and return the apple to the baking sheet. If the caramel starts to solidify while you are dipping apples, stir in heavy cream, a few drops at a time, until the caramel reaches a spreadable consistency.
• After all the apples have been dipped, lightly sprinkle them with sea salt. Allow the caramel to set, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the white chocolate chips on high in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted. Dip each apple into the melted white chocolate, leaving a 1/4-inch ring of caramel exposed. Immediately dip the white chocolate-covered caramel apple in a layer of crushed cookie topping, leaving 1/4 inch of the white chocolate exposed.

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.)

CARAMEL-BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• For the apples: Preheat the oven to 375° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Put the apples in a 9-by-13-inch ovenproof dish.
• Combine the cider, caramels, cinnamon, salt and ginger in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook, stirring often, until the caramels are melted, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour the mixture over the apples and bake on the bottom oven rack, basting every 20 minutes, until the apples are very tender and glossy, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Transfer the apples to a platter; transfer the cider mixture to a medium saucepan.
• For the streusel: Combine the brown sugar, flour, oats, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Using your fingers or a pastry blender, work the butter into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form. Spread on the prepared baking sheet and bake on the top oven rack, stirring halfway through, until golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool, then break into bite-size pieces.
• Bring the cider mixture to a boil over high heat and cook, whisking frequently, until thickened and reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream. Transfer to a bowl set in a large bowl of ice water. Once cold, stir in the buttermilk.
• Pour the cider cream onto a large rimmed platter and place the apples on top. Sprinkle with the streusel and dust with confectioners' sugar.

CARAMEL FILLING

Steps:

• Cook butter, sugar and cream together until it threads.
• Add caramelized sugar and vanilla.
• Cool and fill cake.
• How to caramelize sugar:.
• Melt sugar in a fry pan, stirring constantly, until a golden brown.
• Add to mixture at once or it will harden.

CARAMEL APPLES

Steps:

• Mix caramels and water,.
• Melt over low heat, stirring constantly.
• Place apples in 4 small dishes.
• Top each with warm caramel and sprinkle with nuts.

CARAMEL STEWED APPLES

Steps:

• Wash the apples (peel them if you prefer), cut into half and core them, then cut into wedges or slices. Do this as you cook the caramel, if you're brave. Otherwise deal with the apples in advance so that you can pay full attention to the caramel.
• Put the sugar in a large, heavy-bottomed pan over high heat. Heat the pan until the sugar starts to melt. Stir if you see clumps. The sugar will start to caramelize quickly at some point. If it looks like it's going to turn black, take the pan off the heat for a while to cool it down. Continue melting the sugar until a thick caramel is formed.
• Tip all the sliced apples into the pan at once - be careful, the pot might spit at you when the moisture of the apples hits the caramel, and spitting caramel is very painful. Stir to combine the apple and caramel as well as you can - the caramel will stick to the bottom of the pan and your stirring spatula quite a lot, but don't worry about it. If your spatula gets too caramel-clogged, scrape it off gently with the back of a knife and plop the caramel lump back into the pot. It will melt as the apple cooks down and exudes more moisture.
• Lower the heat to low, just high enough so that the pan is barely simmering. Put a lid on, and let it cook, stirring occasionally, for about 30 to 40 minutes, until the apple slices are permeated with caramel color, as in the photo above. At this point add the optional butter and stir it in, though it's fine to leave it out if you wish.
• Let cool thoroughly before packing into jars or plastic containers. Since this doesn't have the large amount of sugar that jams or preserves do, it needs to be stored in the refrigerator, where it will keep for a couple of weeks, or the freezer, where it should keep for a month or more.
• Eat hot or cold. It's really nice on pancakes, with or without butter, as well as on oatmeal, yogurt, ice cream, or on its own. In the manga they lightly toast some bread, pile the apple on top with a pat of butter, and toast it again in a toaster oven.

BAKED APPLES WITH CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F Grease a baking pan just large enough to hold the apples.
• With a small knife, cut at an angle to enlarge the core opening at the stem end of each apple to about 1 inch diameter. (The opening should look like a funnel shape.).
• Arrange the apples in the prepared pan, stem end up.
• In a small saucepan, combine 3/4 cup water with brown sugar, nutmeg and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring. Boil for 6 minutes.
• Combine the walnuts and raisins. Spoon some of the walnut/raisin mixture into opening of each apple.
• Top each apple with some of the diced butter.
• Spoon the brown sugar sauce over and around the apples. Bake, basting occasionally with the sauce, until the apples are just tender, 45-50 minutes. Transfer the apples to a serving dish, reserving the brown sugar sauce in the baking pan. Keep the apples warm.
• For the caramel sauce, mix the butter, cream and reserved brown sugar sauce in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, and simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Let the sauce cool slightly before serving.

CARAMEL APPLE PIE FILLING (OAMC)

Steps:

• Peel, core, and slice apples. Should be about 6 cups of apples when sliced. Toss with lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
• Cover or place into a resealable bag and allow flavors to mingle for 30 minutes.
• In a heavy bottomed saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar together. Stir frequently. Heat on medium heat until mixture starts to bubble. Add salt.
• Add apple mixture and all of the juices. Allow mixture to come to a gentle boil, lower heat and allow to simmer, stirring often, until the firmest apples start to soften. Cooking time can be adjusted to suit your preference for apple texture. My family likes their apples on the softer side, so I let it cook until the firmest apples are fork tender.
• If there is a lot of liquid, add 1 teaspoon of cornstarch and stir through. Let this simmer a bit longer because the cornstarch will not thicken unless the liquid is at a boil.
• Ladle into a prepared quart jar with at least 1" headspace and proceed with sealing. Or ladle into a container for freezing. 1 quart will fill one pie generously.
