CHAMOY TAJíN CARAMEL APPLES RECIPE BY TASTY

Chamoy Tajín Caramel Apples Recipe by Tasty image

Provided by Nichi Hoskins

Time 1h

Yield 8 apples

Number Of Ingredients 10

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 cup water
2 cups sugar
2 cups heavy cream, warmed
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons chamoy
8 small green apples, washed, dried, and stems removed, room temperature
1 cup tajin seasoning
8 popsicle sticks
instant read thermometer

Steps:

Grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
Add the water and sugar to a medium saucepan. Cook over high heat, without stirring (so the mixture doesn't crystallize), for about 10 minutes, until the mixture begins to turn golden brown. Note: Use a larger pan than you think you need; the caramel will bubble up when you add the cream.
Reduce the heat to low. Slowly pour in a little bit of the heavy cream. The mixture will bubble. When it begins to recede, carefully whisk to incorporate the cream. Continue adding the cream in increments, stirring to incorporate.
Once the cream is incorporated, stir in the salt. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook for 10-12 minutes more, until the caramel reaches 250°F (120°C) on an instant read thermometer. Remove the pot from the heat and let the caramel cool for about 5 minutes.
Carefully transfer the caramel to a heatproof liquid measuring cup or a medium bowl. Stir in the chamoy.
Stick a popsicle stick though the top of each apple, about ⅔ of the way through.
Dip an apple into the caramel until completely coated. Lift the apple from the caramel and spin the stick for 20-30 seconds to remove excess caramel. Roll in the tajín seasoning, then set on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining apples.
Serve the apples immediately, or let set at room temperature for 1 hour. Leftover caramel apples will keep, loosely covered, in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
Enjoy!
