There are many food-related memories swirling throughmy mind when I recollect on my childhood years, but some of the most fond one soccurred at our town’s annual carnival. There, I was given free reign to reallydig in, and have as many sugary treats as I desired. And though there wasalways a plethora of food stands and carts to choose from, I always found myself parked in front of the caramel apples. And now that I’ve developed a passion for cannabis in my later years, I figured it was high time to combine both of these loves into one epic delicacy. That’s how these Cannabis Caramel Apples came to be.
Instructions
- First, you’ll want to bring a big saucepan of water to a full-on boil. When you reach that boiling point, go ahead and dip your apples inside of the water for a few seconds. Follow that up by drying them off with some paper towels. This will help eliminate any wax from the peels.
- Set all of those dipped apples to the side for the moment, to allow them to fully cool. When they do, insert a chopstick into the bottom of each apple. This will be your handle.
- Next, grab some parchment paper, and line a baking sheet with it.
- Then, in a different saucepan, placed over “Medium-to-High” heat, you’ll stir in your sweetened condensed milk, corn syrup, brown sugar, and cannabis-infused butter
- Keep stirring that as it climbs towards a slow boil. When that happens, immediately kick the heat down to “Medium.” Then, with the help of a candy thermometer, check the temperature of the contents. You’re looking for it to be 248°. That usually happens around the 25-30 minute mark. Don’t forget to stir during this part of the process to avoid any unwanted burning.
- To test the consistency, you can grab a teaspoon of this delicious syrup, and toss it into a glass of cold water. If a ball forms, you’ll know you’re good to go. At which point, you can remove the caramel from the heat, and proceed to stir in your vanilla extract.
- Don’t dilly-dally here, work at a moderate pace, dipping your apples into the caramel while it’s still hot. Be mindful to expertly coat each one with a solid amount of caramel. Don’t be afraid to let the caramel coat up to ½” of the handle, as well.
- Then, strategically sprinkle whatever toppings you’d like to add, or leave them as is, before placing them on the parchment paper to cool down.
