Caramel Candied Apples

  • 1.5 tbsp. butter
  • 1.5 cups light brown sugar
  • 6 tbsp. water
  • 8 Wood Skewers
  • 8 Apples (any kind will do)

Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the brown sugar and water. Stir until it has a smooth consistency. Gently bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 3 minutes, until the pan’s sides get steamy and the mixture is thin but somewhat sticky. Remove from heat. Pierce the center of each apple with a skewer, then swirl in the syrup until coated. Place apples on a wax paper covered cookie sheet to harden. Refrigerate for at least 1 to 2 hours. Serves 8.
