Inside Out Caramel Apple Food

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).

INSIDE-OUT CARAMEL APPLE

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high heat.
• Use sharp knife or apple corer to remove core to within 1/2 inch from bottom of each apple. Partially cut each cored apple into 8 wedges. Stand each apple on large sheet of heavy-duty foil; place 3 caramels in center of each apple.
• Mix juice, sugar and cinnamon until blended; pour over apples. Wrap apples in foil to make 4 packets.
• Grill, top sides up, 15 to 20 min. or until apples are tender. Cut slits in foil to release steam before opening packets. Sprinkle nuts over apples.
