Ingredients:
6 crisp apples
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup Royal Guernsey Creamery salted butter
½ cup heavy cream
¼ cup light corn syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
Wooden sticks or popsicle sticks
Instructions:
Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Insert wooden sticks into the tops of the apples.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, then add sugar, heavy cream and corn syrup. Stir continuously until the mixture reaches 240°F on a candy thermometer.
Remove the caramel from the heat, and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt. Carefully dip each apple into the caramel, swirling to coat evenly. Allow excess caramel to drip off.
Place the caramel-coated apples onto a parchment-lined sheet tray to cool and harden. Once the caramel has set, you can drizzle them with melted chocolate, sprinkle with chopped nuts, or add a pinch of sea salt for extra flavor.
