Peanut Butter Caramel Apple Crisp For One Food

PEANUT BUTTER CARAMEL APPLES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray .
• Place the chopped peanut butter cups and peanuts in separate bowls and set aside for now.
• Wash and dry the apples carefully. Remove the stems, and stick skewers firmly in the stem ends.
• Place the unwrapped caramels and the water in a microwave-safe bowl.
• Microwave for 1 minute, then stir; microwave for an additional minute or until completely melted. Continue to heat caramel in short intervals until it is a workable temperature and consistency. It should be smooth and very fluid by the end.
• Hold an apple by the skewer and dip it in the caramel, tilting the bowl at an angle and rotating the apple to cover it completely with a smooth, even layer. Use a spoon, if necessary, to pour caramel over the top so that the entire apple is covered.
• Bring it out of the caramel and twirl it upside down to remove excess, then set on the prepared baking sheet.
• Repeat with remaining apples. Place the caramel-covered apples in the refrigerator to set for at least 30 minutes.
• Place the chocolate or chocolate candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, stirring every 45 seconds.
• Dip the caramel-covered apple in the chocolate, until the caramel is almost entirely covered. Use a spoon if it helps to pour some of the chocolate over the caramel to get even coverage.
• Press some chopped peanut butter cups into the chocolate while it is still wet, and sprinkle the chopped peanuts evenly over the wet chocolate.
• Place the apple back on the baking sheet and repeat with remaining apples.
• Place the peanut butter chips and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until the chips are melted, stirring after every 30 seconds to prevent overheating.
• Transfer the melted chips into a small plastic bag and snip off a small corner of the bag.
• Drizzle the peanut butter chips in a thin line over the top of each apple, radiating out from the center, for a beautiful finishing touch. Refrigerate the apples until the peanut butter sets-about 15 minutes.
• Tightly wrap apples individually in plastic wrap if not serving immediately and store them in the refrigerator for up to a week.

CARAMEL PEANUT BUTTER DIP AND FUJI APPLES

Steps:

• Unwrap candies and place into a bowl.
• Have your GH cut the Fuji apples into quarters and cut into each quarter to remove the core. The GH should then slice apples into 8 pieces per apple. Count for them and make sure they make even slices. You need 16 slices, total. Squirt some lemon juice into a bowl with 1 cup of water in it. Add the sliced apples and turn them around in the lemon water then drain them in a strainer or colander. Lemon juice is sour, but it's only a tiny bit on lots of apple slices. The apples will still taste sweet and really good. The skin of an apple keeps them from turning brown before you cut them, but apples will turn brown once they are cut up and the air can touch their insides. Lemon juice is acidic. That means that it has special properties in it that can keep apples from turning brown.
• Add 1 tablespoon water and peanut butter to your caramel candies. Place candies in microwave oven on high for 2 minutes. Stir the dip with a rubber spatula. If the candy is not melted all the way, put it back in the microwave on high for another 20 seconds. Add a pinch of cinnamon to the sauce and stir. DO NOT TELL ANYONE ABOUT THE CINNAMON! Tell your GH not to tell, too. This is your secret ingredient.
• To serve, place drained, sliced apples next to your caramel and peanut butter dip and start dunking!

APPLE AND PEANUT BUTTER CRISP

Steps:

• Put apples in greased 8 inch square baking dish; mix in cinnamon. In a bowl, combine sugar and flour. With pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in margarine and peanut butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 1/2 cup to apple mixture, mix well. Sprinkle remainder over apples. Bake uncovered in 375* oven about 40 minutes or until apple is tender and top is lightly browned. Serve warm as is or with ice cream or whipped topping.

SKILLET CARAMEL-APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• Make the caramel sauce: Add the granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water to a 3-quart saucepan and stir to combine. Add the butter and set it over medium-high heat, but do not stir. Cook, without stirring, until the butter and sugar have completely melted and started to bubble, 4 to 5 minutes.
• After the mixture has begun to brown at the edges, use a heatproof spatula to carefully stir it occasionally until it is deep golden brown and beginning to smoke just slightly, about 4 to 5 minutes. Do not walk away from the pan during this process as the caramel will go from perfectly golden to burned in moments.
• When the mixture is deep golden, remove the pan from the heat, and carefully whisk in the heavy cream. The mixture will expand and sputter before turning into a smooth sauce. Add the vanilla and salt. If the caramel is at all lumpy, return the pan to the stove on low heat and whisk until smooth. You should have about 2 cups. Carefully pour the caramel into a heat-safe container to cool.
• Prepare the filling: Heat your oven to 350 degrees and set a rack in the center. Peel, core and slice the apples into 1/2-inch slices, removing any bruised bits if necessary. Combine the sliced apples, lemon juice, spices and salt in a large bowl, and stir to combine. Drizzle 1/2 cup caramel sauce over the top and stir again. Scrape the apples and all of their juices into a 9- or 10-inch oven-safe skillet.
• Make the topping: In the same bowl, combine the flour, oats, pecans, sugar and salt. Stir until well combined, then add the butter and mash it into the dry ingredients with your fingers until crumbs form. Pour the crumb topping evenly over the apples. Bake the crisp until the topping is golden and the juices are bubbling, 40 to 50 minutes. Serve warm with more warm caramel sauce and ice cream. Store any remaining sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about a week. It can be rewarmed for later use in a saucepan over low heat.
