Time 5h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Vegetable oil cooking spray
6 small apples, washed and dried, stems removed *see Cook's Note
2 (9.5-ounce) bags soft caramel candies, unwrapped (recommended: Kraft Classic Caramels)
1/4 cup pulp-free orange juice
1 (4-ounce) bar 53 percent cocoa dark chocolate, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces (recommended: Nestle Chocolatier)
Assorted small candies, chopped nuts and sprinkles

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray it with vegetable oil cooking spray. Insert the craft sticks halfway into the stem-ends of the apples.
  • In a medium, heavy saucepan, over low heat, combine the caramel candies and orange juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the candies have melted and the mixture is smooth, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool for 2 minutes. Dip the apples in the caramel until coated and put them on the parchment paper until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Put the chocolate in a medium bowl and set it over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir until the chocolate is smooth and melted. Using a fork, drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel. Put the apples back on the parchment paper for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with small candies, chopped nuts or sprinkles and allow the chocolate to harden, at room temperature, for about 3 to 4 hours.

CARAMEL APPLES CREAM AND WHITE CHOCOLATE STUFFED F



Caramel Apples Cream And White Chocolate Stuffed F image

This recipe was inspired by the peck of apples I had in my refrigerator and a delicious Pepperidge Farm caramel apple bread that I discovered at the store. It's amazing cold, right out of the pack or toasted with cream cheese, hence the brainstorm for this stuffed French toast was born. The wine soaked apples nestle in the tangy cream cheese & the white chocolate cream cheese adds an extra smooth richness. I left the apples raw instead of sauteing first because I didn't want to add any moisture to the filling. The apples are slightly crisp & the pecans crunch. Then there's the Cognac cream

  • Directions For Eggs and Cream Whisk everything together in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Directions For Whipped Cream Whip heavy cream on medium, then high until soft peaks form. Add remaining items and continue beating until you have beautiful fluffy homemade whipped topping. Be careful not to beat too long or it will turn into butter. Refrigerate.
  • Putting It All Together Heat butter in a large skillet on medium. Lay out slices of bread.
