Open in Pepper →Caramel And Apples Belong Together
A tart apple and a spoonful of caramel is one of those pairings you don't have to think about. The apple stays crisp and a little sour, the caramel goes soft and sweet, and everybody at the table knows exactly what they're getting.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when the weather turns and there's a school party, a potluck, or a Sunday afternoon that needs something warm out of the oven.
Every recipe here leans on that pairing, from the cream cheese Caramel Apple Dip and Caramel Apple Carnival Crunch Salad to Caramel Apple Crisp, Caramel Apple Dump Cake, Caramel Apple Cracker Bites, and plain dipped Caramel Apples on a stick.
Quick Tips
- 1
Use tart apples
Granny Smith holds up best against all that sugar, and it stays firm in a crisp for the full 45 minutes of baking.
- 2
Dry apples before dipping
Wipe each apple with a paper towel and let it sit 10 minutes; caramel slides right off a damp or waxy peel.
- 3
Watch the caramel closely
Cook sugar and cream to about 240°F for a caramel that sets soft but doesn't run off the apple.
- 4
Chill dipped apples
Set them on parchment and refrigerate 20 to 30 minutes so the coating firms up before you add peanuts or coconut.
