EASY CARAMEL APPLES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and coat with cooking spray. In a medium saucepan, bring sugar and 1/2 cup water to a boil over high. Reduce to medium-high and simmer, undisturbed, until caramel is golden brown, 8 minutes. Remove from heat and carefully stir in cream (mixture will sputter). Transfer to a small bowl and let cool 5 minutes.
• With a paring knife, make a small slit in top of each apple. Insert an ice-pop stick 1 inch deep into each slit. Dip apples into caramel, swirling to coat. Sprinkle with nuts (if using) and transfer to sheet.

CARAMELIZED APPLES

Steps:

• Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat; sprinkle sugar over. Stir until sugar begins to melt, about 1 minute. Add apples. Sauté until apples are brown and tender and juices form, about 10 minutes. Add cream and simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. (Can be prepared 3 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm apples over medium heat.)

THE BEST CARAMEL APPLES

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Dip apples in boiling water for a few seconds, then dry with paper towels to remove any wax from the peels. Set apples aside; when completely cool, insert a wooden chopstick firmly into the bottom of each apple for a handle.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Stir butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and sweetened condensed milk together in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and reduce heat to medium. Cook until a candy thermometer reads 248 degrees F (120 degrees C), 25 to 30 minutes; stir constantly to prevent burning. A teaspoon of the syrup, dropped in a glass of cold water, should form a firm ball. Remove caramel from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
• Working quickly, dip each apple into the hot caramel to completely coat the apple and about 1/2 inch of the wooden handle. Sprinkle apples with any desired toppings while still hot. Let caramel apples cool on the parchment paper. Use caution, caramel is very hot.

CARAMELIZED APPLES

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add the apples to the pan and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar.
• Sauté the apples, stirring frequently, for 6-8 minutes, until they just start to turn tender.
• Sprinkle the apples with the remaining sugar, cinnamon, and lemon zest.
• Toss the mixture gently and cook over medium heat for an additional 2 minutes, until the sugar begins to caramelize and the apples are crisp-tender.
• Transfer the apples from the skillet to a serving bowl with a slotted spoon.
• Turn the heat to high and add the apple cider to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits.
• Reduce the heat slightly and allow the cider and the pan juices to simmer for 1-3 minutes, until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly.
• If you desire a thicker sauce, dissolve the cornstarch in a teaspoon of water, stir it into the sauce, and allow it to thicken for a moment.
• Pour the finished sauce over the warm apples and serve immediately.

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.)

CARAMELIZED APPLES WITH CHEDDAR STREUSEL

Steps:

• For the streusel: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a bowl, combine flour, butter, brown sugar, pecans, and smoked paprika. Using a pastry cutter, work the ingredients until a rough dough forms; it should resemble large grains. Place streusel on a nonstick baking sheet in an even layer. Sprinkle cheese on top. Bake until toasty, 15 to 20 minutes.
• For the apples: In a medium saute pan over medium-high heat, add sugar and water. Bring to a low boil, occasionally swirling the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes until the sugar begins to caramelize and turn light brown to amber; this is a little tricky and needs to be watched continuously. When light brown, turn off the heat, add the apples and whisky, and light on fire to flambe (this will cook out some of the alcohol). Then, add the butter and turn heat to low. Cook the apples, flipping to coat in the caramel, about 2 to 4 minutes. In the meantime, combine the whipped cream and creme fraiche.
• To assemble: Divide the apples into 8 individual serving dishes or one large one. Top with a dollop of the creme fraiche mixture and some streusel.

CARAMELIZED APPLES

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced apples and sauté 3 minutes. Sprinkle with sugar and sauté until apples are golden brown and just tender, about 8 minutes longer. (Can be prepared 3 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature; rewarm before using.)

CARAMELIZED APPLE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat a large, seasoned cast iron skillet over medium heat and add butter. Once skillet is hot and butter has melted, add diced apple and sprinkle evenly with sea salt. Toss and stir to coat the apples with melted butter and salt. Cover skillet with a lid for about 2 minutes.
• Remove lid and stir. Reduce heat slightly if apples are starting to brown too much. Cover and cook until apples are soft, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove lid and continue to cook, stirring, until apples are lightly browned all over, about 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and mix in coconut sugar, cinnamon, and apple pie spice. Set aside.
• Sift flour into a medium mixing bowl and add sugar, salt, and baking soda. Mix to combine. Whisk together buttermilk, egg, and melted butter in a second bowl. Pour liquid ingredients into flour mixture; stir just enough to incorporate.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter at a time onto the hot griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve pancakes with caramelized apples.

CARAMEL APPLES

Steps:

• In a heavy 3-qt. saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and milk; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until mixture reaches 248° (firm-ball stage) on a candy thermometer, about 30-40 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Insert wooden sticks into apples. Dip each apple into hot caramel mixture; turn to coat. Set on waxed paper to cool. If desired, roll the bottom of the dipped apples into chopped peanuts.

CARAMELISED APPLES WITH CIDER

Steps:

• Melt the caster sugar in a non-stick frying pan until golden brown, then carefully add the apples, cut-side down. Cook for 5 mins to get some colour, then slowly add the cider. Bring to the boil and simmer, turning the apples occasionally, for about 10 mins until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to add a splash of water if the cider has evaporated before the apples are fully cooked.

CARAMELIZED APPLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Combine 4 tablespoons butter with a cup of sugar and a tablespoon of water in a 10- or 12-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet. Place on stove on medium heat. Cook, shaking pan occasionally (do not stir), until sugar melts into butter and mixture bubbles.
• Turn off heat, add apples in layers. About halfway through, dot with some of the remaining butter and sugar. Use rest of butter and sugar on top, along with cinnamon if you like. Put in oven.
• Bake, undisturbed, until apples give up their liquid, and it evaporates and sides are dark brown and sticky-looking. This will take around 45 minutes, but it could be considerably longer or shorter depending on water content of apples. Remove, and let cool. Serve straight from pan or -- for a more attractive presentation -- invert onto a plate.

EASY CARAMEL APPLES

Steps:

• Remove stems and thoroughly wash and dry apples; insert pop sticks into tops. Line a baking sheet with parchment and grease the parchment; set aside., Place caramels and water in a small saucepan; cook and stir over medium-low heat 3-5 minutes or until smooth, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; cool slightly. Dip each apple in caramel mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Place on prepared pan. Refrigerate until set.

CARAMELIZED BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Wash and core to a half-inch of the bottoms of each apple. With a vegetable peeler, peel the tops and bottoms of each apple, leaving a band of skin approximately two inches wide. Place the apples one to two inches apart in a large baking dish. Sprinkle a little of the zest into the well of each apple. Add the cider to the dish and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until tender but not mushy. Place the apples on a lightly oiled baking pan and allow to cool thoroughly.
• When the apples have cooled, place one cup of sugar and a half cup cold water in a medium-size heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar has dissolved. When the sugar begins to turn golden, rotate the pan to even the color. When the caramel is light amber, using a wooden spoon, carefully coat each apple with the hot caramel. (Caramel burns quickly and must be watched carefully. It will continue to cook and become a darker amber as you are working with it.) Repeat the method with the remaining sugar, using a clean, cool, medium-size heavy saucepan.
• Meanwhile, whip the cream into soft peaks and fold in the ginger and refrigerate until ready to serve the apples.
• When ready to serve, pry the apples from the baking pans with a metal spatula and arrange them on a serving platter or serve on individual dessert plates, accompanied with the ginger cream.
