My family owns an orchard in CT that used to make thousands of caramel apples every year. This looks like a great technique to me. Two changes I would suggest: putting the stick in the bottom of the apple helps it to stand more stable when done. And taking the dipped apple and immediately roll on its side in the peanuts and then stand it up on a bed of peanuts to coat the bottom. Any delay cools the caramel and prevents the nuts from sticking. Other popular versions we used to make: caramel with crushed toffee on the outside instead of peanuts, and red cinnamon candy coating with shaved coconut topping.

Love the seasonal videos, one of the many reasons why this is the best channel out there!

I used to work at a theme park and I learned to make caramel and fudge dipped apples. First we would check the apples for bruises, take the sticker off, de-stem them and soak them in hot water to remove the carnauba wax, sometimes soak them twice because it had a very thick layer and if the wax wasn’t properly washed off then the caramel and fudge would slide right off. I found out that the wax was only to make the apple shiny and appetizing, not for any other reason.

Another childhood fav of mine!!!! ❤️ you are talking my old language! I haven’t had one since my teens.

My gram made these. Love 'em. Appreciate your tips on cooking the caramel too.

looks amazing Stephen! great video.

his guy is amazing, really got me cookin

YES!!! I couldn't agree with you more! I LOVE caramel.

This video about caramel apples was WAY more informative than I was expecting. Solid job

Carmel apples? Nah, I'm making those bars... Now those look tasty...

Be sure to temper your chocolate. Hold back 60% of you chocolate and heat and melt in stages. It will have a glossy finish and be much smoother.

Oh and parchment paper is VITAL to use when dealing with caramel and chocolate. You will end up with a disaster otherwise.

Love caramel apples and making caramel candies. Always like watching your videos.

What a beautiful little video this is. Wonderful!

A side note on the candy theme...as I was making a large batch of hummingbird water I got distracted and let the water boil down to a brown goo. I was determined to not let all that sugar go to waist so I added a can of peanuts and poured it out on a cookie sheet. Best peanut brittle I ever had, a little burnt taste ( I like that) a nd very crunchy

I love it when an American chef pronounced the word "caramelise" correctly. It gives me hope for this crazy world...

Evening with the Master. Awesome!

YESSSSSSS!! Caramel apples are my favorite EVER!!

Hey there. I like your video. Very informative and entertaining. I don't dig peanuts but I love carmel apples. I'm looking for the right recipe to do mine because for some darn reason the dip falls off. But I so do love them. Thank you for your video!!! Great job!😊 Karo syrup definitely helps to harden the apples.

Yes thank you for this!!!!

I loved the caramel lesson!

Those turned out fabulous!!!

Awesome video. Never knew the exact caramel levels by temp. I have made my caramel with condensed milk instead of cream. Could be worth a try - really would be ideal for this recipe. Also TEMPER (melt in stages) your chocolate - so you get that glossy smooth finish. Enjoy!

Perfect! Thanks!

Diggin the background music. Thanks for the lesson!

Facts

I need to try eating and making Caramel Apples, thanks for sharing this video 👍. In New Zealand we eat Toffee Apples (which I am an absolute pro at making) which is a Granny Smith apple and covered in a hard clear toffee and then we add red food colouring. This is a childhood treat but you only get this from school fairs, cake stall (bake sale) or local festivals. And just as a hack I use disposable chop sticks (one stick only) as I find this is sturdier than the kebab skewer. Always love your videos Stephen 👍

If you have a hard time finding the sticks I find that chopsticks from a fast food Chinese restaurant work great. They are also a little more substantial so they don’t bend that’s easy

Kristy again (lol) have you tried caramel apple shots using the granny smith apples? YUM-O! Would love to see your take on that!

Gosh, lol, you musta been reading my mind😆 (corn syrup.. only used once or twice a year) This is almost the same ingredients as pralines😍😍💖💖💖

OMG I must try this!! You said payday, I saw in your cherry tomato weekday sauce or the spicy weekday sauce with your 2 friends you did the podcast with, you had candy corn in background. Have you tried the payday snack of dry roasted peanuts and candy corn? That also tastes like a payday! I'm gonna try those bars with my extra caramel, maybe if successful, I will sell at farmers market along with my other goodies!!! Also, friend and I discussing food truck, so about to binge your food truck videos! We are in smaller, rural town and thinking of a "Walking Taco" truck! Have lots of factories here so opportunity for multiple shift selling!!! Thanks bub, ❤ Kristy in Missouri 😊

Interesting. I use joy of baking technique for making caramel. It's slightly different. The caramel tastes good with sweet potatoes. It also is good with pork. Experiment. Also use sea salt in the caramel.

Cutting the caramel apple is key. Especially if you have a big beard. 🤣

The Granny Smith I had was always sour, is it really suitable.

I only have a thermometer that is the kind that you would stick into meat, even though I’m a vegetarian lol. Is there an actual difference between a “candy thermometer,“ and the kind of thermometer that I have? The kind that I have goes up to 392°F. That would do the trick, no? I’ve always wondered what a “candy thermometer“ is… Does it merely mean that it goes up to a very high temperature that surpasses what my thermometer can do? The only time I have ever made caramel for caramel apples is by taking all of the wrappers off of caramels that I buy in the store, and I would like to do it the way that it is done in this video, but I hope that I wouldn’t have to buy another thermometer to do it lol.

@@anti-ethniccleansing465 a "candy thermometer" just has the temperature range for the different sugar stages marked, so you don't have to remember them / look up every time you'll make some sort of cooked sugar... It's pretty much a regular cooking / imersion thermometer otherwise (most people actually use them more for oil temperatures than sugar). It MAY get to higher temperatures than a meat thermometer (that you'll only ever want to cook to 160-ish), but if yours go to 392F it should be fine

Is there a difference between a “candy thermometer“ and a normal thermometer that you would use to stick into meat and other things? Do I seriously have to buy a special thermometer to make this? My thermometer goes up to 392°F, so there shouldn’t be a problem, no?

That doesn't get hot enough to caramelize sugar. It's basically brown sugar sauce. Oh, and, mid-roll ads suck. Thumbs down.
