Candy Apples
makes 6 candy apples

you will need:

for the caramel

  • ¼ cups plain unsweetened soy half-and-half creamer
  • ½ cup plain unsweetened soy yogurt, divided
  • 1 cup organic granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup organic dark corn syrup
  • 1 T. dairy-free soy margarine (preferably a "stick" variety, such as Willow Run)

  • assembly:

    • Fill a shallow basin or dish with ice water and set aside. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
    • In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the dairy-free half-and-half, the soy yogurt, sugar and corn syrup, stirring well to dissolve the sugar. Using a candy thermometer, cook the mixture for about 10 minutes without stirring, or until the caramel reaches 245 F. Stir in the soy margarine, mixing until completely melted and incorporated.
    • Remove the pan from the heat and place directly in the ice water. Working quickly, dip each of the apples into the caramel, using a spoon or knife to help coat all of the sides. Transfer the apples to the prepared baking sheet and place in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes or until set.
    other toppings:
    • biscoff or peanut butter layered on before the caramel
    • melted chocolate
    • nuts - chopped, broken up
    • sprinkles
    • shredded coconut
    • crushed pretzels or graham crackers
    i found the layering technique to work the best - i started with biscoff, then added a layer of caramel, then some coconut, chocolate, nuts, drizzle of caramel. it is important that you pop them in the freezer (for quick setting) or the fridge - then package them up to share!
