Time 40m

Yield 10 apples

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 medium Granny Smith apples
Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the baking sheet
2 cups chocolate sandwich cookies, such as Oreos, cream filling removed
2 cups sugar
1 cup buttermilk (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Heavy cream, to thin the caramel, if necessary
Sea salt, for sprinkling
One 12-ounce bag white chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Rinse and dry the apples. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Push one stick into the top of each apple, then place on the baking sheet with the stick standing straight up.
  • Place the cookies in a large resealable plastic bag and roll with a rolling pin to crush. Set aside.
  • In a large saucepan over low heat, combine the sugar, buttermilk, butter, baking soda, and vanilla and bring just to a boil, stirring constantly. Attach a candy thermometer to the pan, and continue to boil and stir until the mixture reaches 238 degrees F, 15 to 17 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Dip each apple, one at a time, immediately into the caramel, leaving a 1/4-inch ring of green by the stick, and return the apple to the baking sheet. If the caramel starts to solidify while you are dipping apples, stir in heavy cream, a few drops at a time, until the caramel reaches a spreadable consistency.
  • After all the apples have been dipped, lightly sprinkle them with sea salt. Allow the caramel to set, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the white chocolate chips on high in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted. Dip each apple into the melted white chocolate, leaving a 1/4-inch ring of caramel exposed. Immediately dip the white chocolate-covered caramel apple in a layer of crushed cookie topping, leaving 1/4 inch of the white chocolate exposed.
