Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 15 Lady apples
  • 3/4 cup coarsely chopped pistachios
  • Vegetable oil cooking spray, for baking sheet
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, room temperature
  • 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate (preferably 61 percent cacao), melted and slightly cooled

Directions

Poke a hole into stem end of each apple, and insert a clean 5-inch twig, small dowel, or skewer into each hole. Set pistachios on a plate. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Place sugar and corn syrup in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until mixture is dark gold, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and slowly drizzle in heavy cream, stirring vigorously. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Dip 1 apple into caramel to coat bottom third, and remove immediately, allowing excess to drip off bottom. Dip caramel-coated apple into pistachios, using your fingers to help nuts stick to caramel. Transfer coated apple to oiled baking sheet, nut side down. Repeat with remaining apples, caramel, and pistachios. Let apples stand until set, about 30 minutes.

Place melted chocolate in a resealable plastic bag. Snip off the tip of one bottom corner to form a very small hole. Holding 1 apple by the twig, drizzle lines of chocolate onto apple, and let stand until chocolate is set, 5 to 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining apples and chocolate.

                Samantha- I just read to dip them in boiling water for 20 seconds to get the wax off

                I made these and they tasted amazing, however, all of the "goodies" slid off of the apples and pooled around the bottom. Does anyone have any suggestions so this can be avoided next time?

                These were so AMAZING! I cannot imagine going back to regular store-bought cubes of caramel ever again. The pistachios and bittersweet chocolate worked great. I'll be making them every year :}
