Apple season is upon us and the weather is changing! Fall is officially in full force (according to the weather up north)...I was excited to get to try my hand at making an old traditional Fall favorite tonight
(For the 1st time), and of course - put my own spin on it!
Try these delicious Fall or Halloween treats with your kids - they will love getting to choose from a variety of silly topping to decorate their own apples.
Ghoul Caramel Apples:
6 Apples
1 bag of caramels
a dab of vegan butter
1-2 tbs. Coconut Milk
A variety of toppings
Craft Wooden Skewers/sticks
Wax paper
Small pan
Cake pan (for finished apples to go in fridge)
Slowly add caramels into a small pan on low heat - Add a dab of vegan butter and 1 tbs coconut milk - stir continuously until the caramel is fully melted.
Continue this process with about 1/2 cup caramels at a time, until all are melted. The most amount of coconut milk you will need is 2tbs. If you've added that - don't add anymore, or the caramel will be too runny...melt all the caramel in the pan.
Now we are ready to dip our apples
(Which need to be chilled in the fridge, to help caramel stick)
Remove the stem from your washed apples, and push the skewers through the tops of the apples. Line a cake pan with wax paper - to store the finished apples in the fridge.
Take 1 apple on a skewer and as you tilt the melted caramel pot toward yourself - you can roll the sides of the apples down into the caramel - this technique worked better than our first attempt..which is what is on the video.
Quickly add any toppings (by pushing them into the caramel with hands) onto 2 apples at a time. Place finished apples in pan with wax paper - put into fridge while you are preparing the rest of the apples.
Continue to add your finished apples into the pan (taking the pan in and out of the fridge, during this process). Once the pan is full - refrigerate apples for 20 minutes before eating. Then enjoy your ghoulish creations!
