Soothsayer's Sliced Apples

Recipe Ingredients

8 oz	227g	Semisweet chocolate - coarsely chopped
1/4 cup	59ml	Pecans - finely ground
6 cups	1422ml	Firm apples (large)
1/2 cup	99g / 3.5oz	Sugar
1/2 cup	118ml	Heavy cream
1/2 cup	164g / 5.8oz	Dark corn syrup
2 tablespoons	30ml	Unsalted butter
1		Salt
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Vanilla extract

Recipe Instructions

Place the chocolate in a double boiler over medium heat until it is almost melted. Remove from heat, stir, and let cool.

Spread the nuts in a small bowl.

Dip the apples into the chocolate and shake off excess. Then dip the apples into the nuts to coat the bottom. Set them 3 inches apart on a lightly buttered tray and refrigerate for 45 minutes.

In a small pot, stir together the sugar, cream, corn syrup, butter, and salt. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook until the mixture reaches 240F, stirring occasionally. Remove pot from the heat and add vanilla. Pour the hot caramel over the apples, a little at a time, letting it drip down the sides. Cool the apples but don't refrigerate them.

When ready to serve, slice the apples in half and remove the cores. Cut each half into 4 slices.

This recipe yields 48 slices.
