Everyday I come home from work and just want to fall on the couch and go to sleep. Not today! I was determined to create and be inspired. I had honey, I had spices, I had apples...with a little inspiration and push from my sweet toothed friends ...I am privileged to present to you CHAI HONEY CARAMEL APPLES! Not to mention, my apartment smells fantastic! Check out the September Rosh Hashana Honey Link-Up below!
Chai Honey Caramel Apples
1 C. Honey
1 C. Almond Milk
1/4 C. Earth Balance
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
Scant 1/4 tsp. of each of these spices
Ground Nutmeg, Ground Black Pepper, Ground Cinnamon, Ground Allspice, Ground Ginger, Ground Cloves and Fennel Seeds
4 Apples
Pecans
Pecans
Put all ingredients in sauce pan and wait till it reaches a boil. Once it reaches a boil, pick up the pan from the heat (or it will boil over) and turn the stove down to low. Using a candy thermometer, cook the honey and milk mixture till the temperature on the thermometer reaches 250 (about 20 minutes). Take the pan off the stove and cool until the mixture has a caramel dipping texture (about 5 minutes). Slice your apples into 8ths and dip. Lay covered apples on parchment paper and sprinkle with chopped pecans. Place in fridge for caramel to set.

Ooh, pareve caramel sauce . . . This I must try. And I love the idea of adding spices.
ReplyDelete(and, also, Mazel Tov on your engagement!)
Definitely try this! The spices give it such a nice surprise flavor!
ReplyDeleteCaramel and apples is a truly awesome combination. I'm drooling at the photos!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, delicious caramel apples without the stick and fresh from home. Can't wait to try this with the grandkids.
ReplyDeleteThe flavors in here sound amazing, I love chai. Does it really get a nice thick caramel texture? I find it hard when cooking parve.
ReplyDeleteThe spices made my house smell heavenly! It a great thick texture, but you have to wait a little for it to cool down before you dip. Then it will harden even more once you put it in the fridge. Enjoy :)
DeleteThis sounds like an incredible blend of flavors and I'm equally excited for the smell of fall it'll bring into the apartment! Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteI love caramel apples and chai! This sounds like a ridiculously amazing combination.
