      Caramel Apples

      Low Sodium Low Potassium Low Phosphorus Low Protein Vegetarian Egg-Free No Shellfish Gluten-Free American Dessert

      Caramel Apples

      Low Sodium Low Potassium Low Phosphorus Low Protein Vegetarian Egg-Free No Shellfish Gluten-Free American Dessert
      6 caramel apples
      Prep time: 15 minutes
      Total time: 45 minutes

      Description

      This healthy caramel apple recipe has just enough caramel to give a nice hit of salty-sweet flavor in each bite for a tasty dessert.

      Directions

      1. Line a baking sheet with wax paper and coat with cooking spray. Coat a tablespoon measure with cooking spray.
      2. Combine brown sugar, agave, butter and salt in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat; as soon as the syrup starts to lightly bubble around the edges, cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute more. Add nuts and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar is melted and the mixture darkens, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
      3. Working quickly, spoon about 1 tablespoon of caramel over each apple. Repeat, spooning another tablespoon of caramel over each apple, turning as you pour.
      4. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Insert popsicle/craft sticks into the tops. Press any stray strands of caramel back onto the apples. Let cool for at least 30 minutes.

      Tips

      • To make ahead: Store in wax paper at room temperature for up to 1 day.
      • Equipment: Wooden popsicle/craft sticks
