Peanut Butter Caramel Apples Recipes

Steps:

• Wash and dry apples.
• Insert stick into stem end of each apple and set aside.
• Place peanuts in a shallow bowl or pie pan and set aside.
• In a heavy saucepan, cook caramels, peanut butter and water over low heat until melted and blended, stirring frequently.
• Remove from heat (you may have to return to heat if mixture starts to set up).
• Dip and turn each apple in caramel mixture, coating most of the way up.
• Allow excess to drip into pan.
• Dip apples in peanuts and place on a waxed paper lined baking sheet or into paper cupcake liners.
• Store in a cool place or refrigerate.
• Remove from refrigerator 20 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Mix the wet: In a bowl, stir together the apples, sugars, pumpkin pie spice, allspice and nutmeg. Set aside.
• Mix the dry: In a large bowl, add flour and a pinch of salt.
• Pull it together: Make a well in the center of the bowl of the dry ingredients and whisk in the beer until combined. It should be slightly thicker than pancake batter. Gently fold in the apple mixture and let it rest 10 minutes at room temperature.
• Fry the fritters: In a large pot, bring oil temperature to 360 degrees F, so when adding the fritters, the temperature rests at 350 degrees F. Once the oil is ready, using a small ice cream scoop or large tablespoon, gently drop the dough into the oil in batches. Fry until golden brown on both sides, flipping once, about 4 minutes total. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate. Serve with Peanut Butter Caramel Sauce.
• Melt the sugar: In a saute pan over medium heat, add the brown sugar and allow it to melt while whisking.
• Melt the butter: Once melted, add the butter and continuously whisk while melting until everything is smooth.
• Add the cream: Turn off the heat and slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking until smooth. (Don't get hit with the splatter!)
• Add the peanut butter: Add the peanut butter and turn the heat back on to low to help it melt into the caramel sauce while whisking for just under a minute. Remove from the heat, serve warm.

Steps:

• Unwrap candies and place into a bowl.
• Have your GH cut the Fuji apples into quarters and cut into each quarter to remove the core. The GH should then slice apples into 8 pieces per apple. Count for them and make sure they make even slices. You need 16 slices, total. Squirt some lemon juice into a bowl with 1 cup of water in it. Add the sliced apples and turn them around in the lemon water then drain them in a strainer or colander. Lemon juice is sour, but it's only a tiny bit on lots of apple slices. The apples will still taste sweet and really good. The skin of an apple keeps them from turning brown before you cut them, but apples will turn brown once they are cut up and the air can touch their insides. Lemon juice is acidic. That means that it has special properties in it that can keep apples from turning brown.
• Add 1 tablespoon water and peanut butter to your caramel candies. Place candies in microwave oven on high for 2 minutes. Stir the dip with a rubber spatula. If the candy is not melted all the way, put it back in the microwave on high for another 20 seconds. Add a pinch of cinnamon to the sauce and stir. DO NOT TELL ANYONE ABOUT THE CINNAMON! Tell your GH not to tell, too. This is your secret ingredient.
• To serve, place drained, sliced apples next to your caramel and peanut butter dip and start dunking!

Steps:

• Wash apples, then dry completely. (Note: In order for the caramel sauce to stick to the apples, the apples need to be well chilled before washing, drying and dipping in the caramel sauce.)
• Insert wooden pop stick into stem end of each apple. Microwave caramels and water in large glass microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 to 2-1/2 min. or until caramels are completely melted and mixture is well blended when stirred.
• Cover large plate with parchment; spray with cooking spray. Dip apples, 1 at a time, into caramel sauce, turning to evenly coat each apple. Hold dipped apple over bowl to let excess caramel drip back into bowl. Place apple on prepared plate. Refrigerate 15 min.
• Melt chocolate as directed on package. Add peanut butter; swirl gently with spoon. Drizzle over apples.
• Refrigerate 1 hour or until caramel is firm. Remove apples from refrigerator 15 min. before serving. (Note: Caramel apples can be refrigerated up to 2 days before serving.)

Steps:

• Microwave first 3 ingredients in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2-1/2 to 3 min. or until caramels are completely melted, stirring after each minute.
• Dip apple slices in warm dip, then sprinkle with nuts.

Steps:

• Line cookie sheet with waxed paper; spray waxed paper with cooking spray. Wash and dry apples; remove stem and blossom ends. Insert craft stick into stem end of each apple.
• In 2-quart saucepan, mix sugar, water and 1/4 cup of the corn syrup. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat. Cook about 8 minutes, without stirring, to 300°F on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into cup of very cold water separates into hard, brittle threads. (Watch carefully so mixture does not burn.) Immediately remove from heat.
• Working quickly, dip each apple in sugar mixture. Place on cookie sheet; let stand 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in top of double boiler, mix remaining 3/4 cup corn syrup, the peanut butter and shortening. Cook over simmering water about 4 minutes, stirring constantly until smooth. Dip coated apples almost completely in peanut butter mixture; roll apples in chopped peanuts, using hands to help adhere if necessary. Return to cookie sheet; refrigerate 15 minutes or until set. Store covered at room temperature.
