Caramel Apples And Pears

Recipe Ingredients

12		Natural licorice sticks, cinnamon sticks,
		Or bamboo skewers, each 6" long
6		Lady apples - stems removed
6		Seckel pears - stems removed
2 cups	474ml	Granola
1 cup	198g / 7oz	Sugar
1/2 cup	164g / 5.8oz	Dark corn syrup
2 teaspoons	10ml	Pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons	45ml	Water
4 tablespoons	60ml	Unsalted butter
1 cup	237ml	Heavy cream

Recipe Instructions

Insert a licorice stick, cinnamon stick, or bamboo skewer into the stem end of each apple and pear. Spread the granola on a baking sheet; reserve. Have ready 1 or more cooling racks or a large sheet of parchment paper for cooling the caramel fruits.

In a saucepan over low heat, combine the sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and water. Cook, stirring, until the sugar melts. Add the butter and cream, raise the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the caramel registers 240 degrees on a candy thermometer, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for 2 minutes.

One at a time, dip the apples and pears in the caramel, twirling and swirling them to coat completely. Dip the tops in the granola to coat them, then transfer to the cooling rack or the parchment paper to cool. As the apples and pears cool, the caramel will set.

Store the caramel apples and pears, wrapped in cellophane if desired, in a cool, dry place until ready to serve or up to 2 days.

This recipe yields 12 servings.
