Skewer apples with popsicle sticks or 6” wooden skewers, then chill until ready to dip.

Step 2

In a medium sauce pot over medium high heat, whisk together water, sugar, and cream of tartar until syrup comes to a boil.

Insert a candy thermometer and boil, undisturbed, for 10-12 minutes or until syrup reaches 310 F (hard crack stage).

Quickly dip cold apples in caramel, letting excess drip off before transferring to a parchment-lined sheet pan.

Step 8

Allow caramel apples to cool to room temperature before serving.

Chef's Tip


Apples from the produce section are usually coated in wax. Dip you apple into a pot of boiling water for about 10 seconds, then wipe the wax off. This will help the caramel to adhere.
