Recipe of the Week

So I have decided to do a recipe of the week since cooking is one of my hobbies. My recipe this week is Candy Cane Carameled Apples:

10 apples (I like granny smith or jonagold)
1/2 Cup of butter
1 cup corn syrup
2 cups brown sugar
14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. Vanilla (the real thing)

White chocolate (white chocolate chips or Wilton candy melts)
Obliterated Candy Canes

Wash apples and stick something in the top for the handle (popsicle sticks, corn dog sticks, ect.)

In medium sized sauce pan over medium heat melt butter.
Add corn syrup and brown sugar.
Stir together
Stirring often bring them to a pregnant boil ( that's a boil that's about to happen)
Add sweetened condensed milk stirring quickly and constantly while doing so.
Stir frequently if not constantly until a Candy thermometer reads 245 degrees
Remove from heat and add the tsp. of Vanilla.

Stir Caramel slowly to remove bubbles and allow to cool a little.
Dip apples and place on a greased cookie sheet or wax paper.
allow to cool completely.
Melt chocolate in the microwave in short 30 second intervals until 3/4 of the way melted. Stir to complete melting.
Put the candy cane on a plate or in a bowl.
Dip the apples in the chocolate then spin it to remove excess.
Immediately sprinkle candy cane over the apple
Return to cookie sheet
Allow to set up
Viola! Candy Cane Carameled Apples
