  • tablespoons butter 
  • tablespoons brown sugar corn syrup 
  • cup granulated sugar 
  • tablespoons heavy whipping cream 
  • cup pecans toasted chopped
  • 0.1 teaspoon salt

  • 12 small honeycrisp red firm

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • sauce pan

Directions

  1. Rinse apples; dry well to remove waxy residue. Insert a craft stick into stem end of each apple.
  2. Place pecans in a shallow dish.
  3. Combine sugars and the next 4 ingredients (through butter) in a small, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring just until sugar dissolves, and bring to a boil. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reaches 325 or until syrup begins to caramelize.
  4. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla and salt.
  5. Working quickly with 1 apple at a time and holding apple by its stick, dip in caramel mixture, tilting pan and turning apple to mostly coat apple; allow excess to drip off. Quickly dip apple in pecans.
