McIntosh-Caramel Apples
A good old-fashioned treat!
Serves 6
6 McIntosh apples
1 cup (250 ml) sugar
3/4 cup (175 ml) dark corn syrup
1 cup (250 ml) whipping cream
2 tablespoons (30 ml) butter
1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla
Wash and dry the apples, remove stems. Place a wooden skewer into each apple, set aside.
In a saucepan, combine the sugar, syrup, cream and butter and place over high heat until it boils for 3 to 5 minutes. The mixture should register 245° F (115° C) on a candy thermometer.
Remove from heat and blend in vanilla. Quickly dip the apples into the mixture, one at a time. Spoon the mixture to ensure good coverage. Turn the skewer in your fingers briefly, letting each dipped apple cool slightly prior to placing on wax paper for final cooling.
