Caramel apples were a general Halloween treat. But now it seems that packaged candy is what goes into trick-or-treat bags, and caramel apples are relegate to the gourmet-food.
America's Test Kitchen gives some tips for successfully dipping apples:• For the caramel coating, melt together soft caramel candies and a little heavy cream, this will enable the caramel to coat the apples smoothly.
• Coat the apples with caramel by spoon the hot caramel over the apples. It will flow easily around the apple to make a thin, uniform layer. Roll the freshly coated apples in the candy fast so the candy will stick fast.
• Candy bars with crunchy cookies, caramel or toffee are the good match for the flavors of the apple and caramel.
• Choose smaller, tart apples for the best flavor and part of caramel to apple. Granny Smiths or McIntosh apples offer a tart bite that cuts through the richness of the caramel and candy.
• Caramel apples keep 2 weeks refrigerated and covered.
