Bourbon Caramel Apples
The crunch and saltiness of the chips pair very nicely with the bourbon caramel. And the praline pecans, well you can just imagine, or try them for yourself! I will be making these every year. Potato chips and all!!
Servings: 8 apples
Calories: 881kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 4 cups sugar
- 10 tablespoons salted butter cut into pieces
- 2 cups heavy cream at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- 8 apples
Toppings
- Crushed Potato Chips
- Crushed Pecan Pralines
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the sugar and light corn syrup on medium-high heat until the sugar melts. It will seem like it's taking forever, but it will eventually melt! Just keep stirring so it doesn't burn. It will be clumpy at first, but it will even out.
- Continue to heat until it's a dark amber color about 15 minutes.
- Add in the butter and stir until everything is combined.
- Turn the heat to medium and add in the heavy cream.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the caramel for about 20 minutes or until a candy thermometer says 250 degrees.
- Turn the heat off and add in the bourbon.
- Let it sit for 20 minutes so it can thicken and give the apples a nice coating.
- If the caramel is too thin when you dip the apples, heat it again and let it cool.
- Dip the apples in the caramel and then dip in the crushed toppings. Lay on parchment paper to dry. Enjoy!
