Categories: New, Text, Import
Yield: 1 servings


1 lb dark brown sugar
1 1/2 c maple syrup
1/2 c heavy cream
1 TB unsalted butter
10 Granny Smith or other tart
: apples -- chilled

In a deep heavy saucepan combine the brown sugar,
maple syrup, and cream and cook the mixture over
moderate heat, stirring and washing down any sugar
crystals clinging to the sides of the pan with a brush
dipped in cold water, until the sugar is dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a boil and boil it, undisturbed,
until a candy thermometer registers 250 degrees F.
Remove the pan from the heat, add the butter, and
swirl the pan gently until the butter is melted. Let
the maple caramel cool for 5 minutes.

Push a wooden skewer or chopstick through the length
of each apple and holding the apples by the skewers
dip the apples 1 at a time in the maple caramel,
coating them well and letting the excess drip off. Put
the apples on buttered baking sheets until the maple
caramel is cool and firm. Serve the apples immediately.

Yield: 10 caramel apple
