Time 1h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 medium apples, washed and well dried
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2 cups packed dark brown sugar
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch salt
Suggested toppings: chopped nuts, crushed pretzels, sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, mini candy-coated chocolates, toasted coconut flakes

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or wax paper. Place the ice pop sticks into the stem ends of the apples and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • In a heavy medium pot over medium heat, melt the butter and then stir in the brown sugar until completely combined. Whisk in the sweetened condensed milk, corn syrup, honey, cinnamon and salt until smooth.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula, until the temperature registers 238 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Remove from the heat and let the caramel cool for about 2 minutes.
  • Holding an ice pop stick, carefully dip an apple in the caramel up to the stem, then roll in the desired toppings and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining apples. Chill the apples until the caramel and toppings are set, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.

I'm not sure why, but my caramel didn't turn out smooth. It was a bit lumpy. But the apples were still good.

I think these apples would be even better if you used a flavored caramel. I'm going to try using a salted caramel next time.

These apples are a great way to use up extra apples. I had a bunch of apples that were about to go bad, so I made these and they were delicious.

I'm not a huge caramel fan, but these apples were still really good. The caramel was sweet, but not too overpowering.

I used Granny Smith apples for this recipe and they were perfect. They held their shape well and the caramel didn't overpower the apple flavor.
