Caramel Apples
Place caramel in a cast iron pan with a lid. Place in an oven at 200 degrees for 2 hours until fully
Wash apples in warm water with 1-2 drops of dish soap and 1 Tablespoon of white vinegar. Rinse well and allow to air dry for 1 hour. Remove stem and wipe any remaining water from the apples. Place the pointed end of the stick in the flower of the apple (bottom). Using the counter surface, pound the stick into the apple.
Using a hot plate set at 150 degrees – 160 degrees, place the cast iron pan to maintain heat for the caramel to stay melted. Continue to stir and monitor the caramel through the dipping process so the caramel does not burn. Dip apples in caramel using a shaking method to remove excess caramel. Set caramel apples in fridge for 15 min.
Tempering coverture chocolate:
Dark Chocolate – Melt to 120 Degrees. Cool by seeding and then hold to 87-91 Degrees.
Milk or White Chocolate – Melt to 115 Degrees. Cool by seeding and hold to 83-88 Degrees.
***As the chocolate cools, you can re-heat in very brief time increments and monitor the temperature carefully to keep it in the hold range. If you exceed the maximum hold temperature during the re-heat, you must begin the re-temper process.
