Caramel Filled Apples

By á-10881

A fun easy way to enjoy caramel apples like those of your childhood. Great for kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

• fresh lemon juice from 1 lemon
• 5 apples, Granny Smith work best
• 1/2 cup water
• caramel candies

Preparation

Step 1

Cut the apples in half lengthwise. Using a melon baller, scoop out the inside of the apples, taking care to create a shell of even thickness. Set apple halves into cups of a muffin pan and squeeze or brush lemon juice onto cut apples to reduce browning. Place in fridge until filling is ready.

To a medium saucepan, add water and caramels and heat until caramels are melted. Fill each apple cup with caramel mixture. Refrigerate a few hours or overnight.

To serve, place apples flesh-down (caramel down) on cutting board. Cut lengthwise in half, then in half again. Trim off any brown parts with a paring knife. Serve immediately. (The lemon juice can only prevent the browning for so long).
