Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 Granny Smith apples
- 400 grams Caramel candies
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 cup Chopped roasted peanuts
- 6 Wooden sticks
- 1 teaspoon Butter
Instructions
Wash and dry the apples thoroughly to remove any wax coating. This allows the caramel to stick properly.
Insert a wooden stick firmly into the top of each apple, making sure it feels secure.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with butter to prevent sticking.
In a medium saucepan, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream over low heat. Stir constantly until the caramel is fully melted and smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
Dip each apple into the melted caramel, tilting the pan and rotating the apple to coat it evenly. Let the excess caramel drip off before rolling the apple in the chopped peanuts.
Place the coated apples onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they don't touch each other.
Allow the apples to set at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes, or until the caramel firms up.
Serve immediately or wrap each apple in cellophane for storage. Store in a cool place for up to 2 days.
