Gourmet Caramel Apples with Homemade Caramel

October 4, 2014 by Jenn
I’ve never made caramel apples before, and in fact, I’ve never even had a caramel apple.  I’ve walked by chocolate shops a million times that had the fancy apples in the windows, but for some reason I have never bought one.  I probably thought it was too healthy or something . . . all that fruit and all!!
 
When I first set out to make the caramel, I started out trying the pre-made caramel candies, and melting them down.  I tried that 3 times, and had no success.  I don’t know what I was doing wrong, but I had failed enough times that I said “Screw it!” and went to scratch!  I should have known better and started there!  The caramel is deliciously chewy and SO hard to resist dipping into it immediately, but it is HOT when it comes off the stove, so be careful. 

Choose a great tasting apple to use for dipping.  I went with Honeycrisp and I was worried at first that they would be too sweet with the caramel and chocolate, but they were perfect!  When I took the apples to a work function, the thing that my coworkers liked best was the combination of flavours with the type of apple I had chosen.

Choosing which additional toppings to put onto the apples has endless possibilities!  I chose three that I thought would make great combinations, but you can change them up however you would want to.  My favourite of the three was the peanut butter one.  I think it was because of the combination of saltiness of the peanut butter items and the sweetness of the caramel and apple!  Whichever one you choose, they’re all delicious!!
