Carmel Apples

This site has the most beautiful carmel/candy apples! I've tried the candy carmel with little success, but there is a link for a Martha Stewart's carmel. To die for and really easy to make! This picture is from the website.

6 Apples (Lady's Apple suggested)
6 sticks
1 C. Heavy Cream
1 C. Sugar
1/4 C. Dark Corn Syrup
2 T. Unsalted Butter

Plus toppings


Insert sticks into apple and prepare ice-water bath.

Bring Cream, Sugar, Corn Syrup and Butter to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Clip a candy thermometer to pan, and continue to cook until mixture reaches 245 degrees, 10-12 minutes.

Place pan in ice-water bath to stop the cooking. Dip bottom of each apple in caramel. Using a spoon, coat apple halfway to 3/4 of the way up the sides. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes (or overnight.)
