Chocolate Caramel Apples
from: www.recipe.com
Prep Time: 1 hr 15 mins
Total Time: 2 hrs 15 mins
Makes 8 to 10 servings.
Ingredients:
8 to 10 wooden craft sticks
2-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate pieces (15 ounces)
1 tablespoon shortening
1-1/2 cups chopped pecans, toasted, and/or coarsely chopped peanuts
Directions
Butter a piece of foil; place on a baking sheet.
Set aside.
In a medium saucepan combine caramels and water.
Cook over medium-low heat until caramels are melted and smooth, stirring frequently. Turn heat to low.
Wash and dry apples.
Insert stick into stem end of each apple.
Dip apples into hot caramel mixture, spooning caramel over apples to coat entirely.
Allow excess caramel to drip off.
Place on prepared foil; let stand about 30 minutes or until firm.
In a small saucepan melt chocolate pieces and shortening over low heat, stirring constantly.
Dip bottom halves of apples in chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
Sprinkle with nuts.
Place on a piece of unbuttered foil or waxed paper set on a baking sheet.
Let stand about 30 minutes or until set.
Although most apple varieties will work for Chocolate Caramel Apples, youngsters may prefer sweeter ones, such as Gala, Delicious, or Crispin.
Many adults, however, will delight in the contrast of sweet caramel with tart apples, such as Granny Smith, Braeburn, or Jonathan.
