Food: Caramel Apples

Today I ate a caramel apple. First time in years, I miss this thing! Used to buy it in Beirut off the street.

Here’s a recipe for those who can’t find them:

Wash a large apple. Using a melon baller, extract balls of apple. Place in a bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice.

1. Wash a large apple. Place in a bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice.
2. Prepare a dipping station (mini-cupcake papers), also have a bowl of crushed nuts (peanuts in this case) and a bowl of warmed caramel apple dip.
3. Carefully spear each ball of apple through the ROUND end. Keep the flat end on the bottom, so they stand upright. Using a paper towel, blot off the excess lemon juice. This is important- if the apple has too much juice left on it, the caramel won’t stick.
4. Dip the apple in the caramel, using a twirling motion to coat it.
5. Transfer the apple to the nuts and roll.
6. Stand the apples upright in the cups and let them chill in the fridge to solidify. Cute and addictive!
