Deluxe Dipped Apples Recipes

CARAMEL APPLE DIP

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, stir together sugar, corn syrup and water. Heat over medium-high heat; DO NOT STIR. Cook about 10 minutes or until sugar turns a dark amber color.
• Add remaining ingredients; beat with whisk until smooth. Pour into heatproof container. Serve with sliced apples for dipping.

CHOCOLATE DIPPED APPLES

Steps:

• Insert wooden craft sticks or lollipop sticks into the cores of the apples at the stem. Place the roasted peanuts and candies on separate plates. Set aside.
• Place the chocolate into a metal or glass bowl and set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir frequently until melted. Remove from the heat. Dip apples into the melted chocolate, turning to coat completely. Dip or roll in candy or nuts, then place on a sheet of waxed paper. Repeat with remaining apples. Allow apples to set at room temperature until the chocolate is firm, about 20 minutes, before serving.

DELUXE CHOCOLATE-CINNAMON DIPPED APPLES

Steps:

• Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Do not overheat or chocolate will scorch. Stir in the cinnamon. Spread the mixture thinly on wax paper into a 9 inch square, then place onto a baking sheet. Freeze until hard, about 5 minutes. Remove from the freezer and crush the white chocolate into small pieces and place into a bowl.
• Melt the semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Do not overheat or chocolate will scorch. Skewer each apple slice with a fork. Dip the apple into the semisweet chocolate, wiping off excess, then dip the apple into the white chocolate pieces. Carefully remove the fork and place the chocolate dipped apple slices onto a plate covered with wax paper. Refrigerate until hard, about 45 minutes.

DELUXE DIPPED APPLES

Steps:

• Bring 3 inches of water in a medium saucepan to a boil.
• Insert a craft stick into the top end of each apple.
• Dip the apples, 1 at a time, into the boiling water for 20-30 seconds, this will remove the wax coating on the apples. Dry thoroughly and place onto a sheet pan lined with parchment or wax paper.
• Prepare the caramel by adding caramel candies and milk to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stay close and stir often while the candies melt. Once melted, remove from heat and allow to sit about 1 minute.
• Dip each apple in the caramel, turning slowly to coat. Continue to turn, allowing any excess to drip back into the saucepan.
• If desired, dip the bottoms of each apple into nuts, chocolate chips or other garnish.
• Cool apples completely on the prepared sheet pan then wrap individually and store for 2 to 3 days in an airtight container.
