Ingredients

                      
                        Crofter's Organic Morello Cherry Premium Fruit Spread
                      
                      1 Cup

Water

1/4 Cup

Granny Smith Apples

Light Brown Sugar

1 Cup

Butter

1 Cup

Corn Syrup

1/4 Cup

Sweetened Condensed Milk

1 Can (300ml)

Salt

1/2 Tsp

Vanilla Extract

1 Tsp

Gluten-Free Pretzels (Crushed)

1 Cup

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the Crofter’s Organic Premium Morello Cherry Fruit Spread and the water. Simmer over medium heat stirring frequently until the spread turns into a syrup. Strain out any big chunks and set the morello cherry syrup aside to cool. Wash your apples well to remove any wax coating. The caramel won’t stick if there’s a wax coating on your apples.

2. In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, sweetened condensed milk, salt, vanilla extract, and the morello cherry syrup. Stir together and place over medium-high heat until the caramel reaches 240°F. STIR CONSTANTLY*. You don’t want the caramel to sit a burn.

3. Keep stirring until the caramel begins to pull away from the sides of the pot and begins to thicken and slightly darken.

4. Once the caramel is done, remove from the heat. Grab your apples and remove the stems. Place a skewer or stick into the apple where the stem was. Rotate the apple through the cherry caramel sauce and place on a baking sheet with parchment paper to set for 10 minutes.

5. Once the caramel slightly sets on the apple, roll the apple through the crushed pretzels and place on the baking tray again to fully set. Place the caramel apples in the fridge for 30 minutes to help speed up this process. When the apples are fully set, they’re ready to serve! Enjoy!
