Perfect Caramelized Witch's Apples Recipe
Caramelized Witch Apples: a sweet autumnal dessert featuring red apples, sugar, and molasses syrup. Add a special touch by sprinkling them with chopped pistachios or grated coconut for a crunchy and flavorful contrast.
Instructions
- Prepare 8 wooden sticks. Thoroughly wash and dry the apples.
- Remove the stems from the apples and gently insert the sticks at the point where the stem was located.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar and molasses syrup. Dissolve the ingredients over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent them from sticking.
- Test the readiness of the syrup by dropping a drop into cold water; if it hardens immediately, it's ready.
- Dip the apples in the hot syrup, holding them by the stick, rotating them to ensure they are completely covered with a uniform layer of caramel.
- If necessary, dip the apples several times in the syrup to achieve optimal coverage.
- Arrange the caramelized apples on a plate previously greased with vegetable oil, allowing them to cool completely before serving.
