Hummingbird Caramel Apples

Credit: Photo: Randy Mayor


Start Here: Ready Your Apples

Push a wooden craft stick into the tops of 8 small apples. Bring 1 cup sugar, ¼ cup light-colored corn syrup, and ¼ cup water to a boil in a medium, heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, without stirring, 9 minutes or until lightly golden (about 260°). Follow one of the variations for a whimsical spin on this fall favorite.

First up: Inspired by the flavors of a hummingbird cake, this apple is dunked in a pineapple-coconut-pecan mixture for a sweet southern treat the whole family will love.

A double dose of orange from fresh juice and grated rind adds a wonderfully tart element to this salty-sweet treat.

With creamy peanut butter spooned straight into the caramel, it's no wonder this apple is our staff's favorite of the five.
