Topping Off The Fall With Caramel Apples
Falltime is also funtime when you bring together two alltime
favorites — crisp and juicy apples and wonderfully delicious car*
amels. And the fun soon becomes a family affair when both the
experienced and beginning cook make Caramel Apples at home.
Topping off the Fall with Caramel Apples is a simple and easy
do-it-yourself way to enjoy a wholesome snack. Keeping a few
tips in mind will help ensure a perfect treat everytime.
Picking the Apple of Your Eye
S o w h a t’s keep in g you fro m m a k in g C a r a m e l Apples?
• Crisp and crunchy apples such as McIntosh
and Jon ath an s are perfect for Caram el
Apples — especially in the Fall when they
reach their flavor peak.
• W hen making Caramel Apples remember
that beauty is m ore than skin deep.
Choose apples with a smooth skin without
any soft spots, which can end up as brown
spots inside the apple.
You will need: 1 14-ounce bag Kraft caramels
2 tablespoons water
4 or 5 medium size apples
4 or 5 w ooden sticks
• Once you've selected the apple of your
eye, handle with care to avoid adding any
dents.
• Apples like it real cool. Store them in the
refrigerator or in another cool, dry place.
• Wash apples before eating them. Dry a p
ples carefully for Caramel Apples, so the
melted caramel will stick.
Recipe For The Basic Caramel Apple
• Stir caramels gently with a wooden spoon
to keep air bubbles from forming.
• Choose a deep 1-1/2 qt. saucepan to as
sist in dipping apples.
• Humidity can cause caram el to slip off
apples. C hoose a dry place to store com
pleted caramel apples. Do not store more
than a day or two.
Two Terrific Twosomes!
• Insert wood stick into stem end of
each apple.
3) • Holding stick, dip apples, one at a
time, into hot caramel sauce, turning
until well coated.
• Scrape off extTa sauce from bottom
of apple with spatula
• Place apples on greased wax paper
4) • Cool until caramel sets.
• Store in a cool, dry place; do
not refrigerate.
n • Unwrap caramels.
• Place caramels and water in heavy
1 -1 /2 qt. saucepan.
• Cover.
• Cook over low heat, stirring
frequently until caramels are melted
and sauce is smooth.
2) • Place sheet of wax paper on cookie
sheet.
• Lightly grease wax paper.
• Wash and dry apples.
Hints for a Perfect Caramel Apple
• Use low heat. Caramels and other sweet
treats can scorch easily if heat is too high.
• Cover the saucepan as the caramels melt.
Uncover to stir, and once caramels begin
to melt, stir often to prevent scorching.
• Watch the caramels carefully. They will be
slow to start melting, but once they start,
they melt quickly and should be stirred
constantly.
