These caramelized apples make for a perfect dessert or snack, especially during the fall season. The combination of sweet and tangy apples with the buttery toffee and warm cinnamon creates a heavenly treat that you won't be able to resist. This recipe requires minimal ingredients and preparation time, making it a great option for a quick and satisfying sweet fix.

Ingredients

  • 4 Granny Smith apples
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chopped almonds (optional)
  • Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

  1. Wash and dry the apples, then remove the core using an apple corer or a small knife. Make sure to leave the bottom intact.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Once the butter has melted, add the sugar and cinnamon to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
  4. Cook the mixture over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved completely and the mixture becomes a golden caramel color. This should take about 10 minutes.
  5. While the caramel is cooking, insert a wooden stick or popsicle stick into each apple's core. Set them aside.
  6. Once the caramel is ready, remove the saucepan from the heat. Be careful as the caramel may be extremely hot.
  7. Dip each apple into the caramel, making sure to coat it completely. You can use a spoon to help evenly distribute the caramel if needed.
  8. Optional: Roll the caramel-coated apples in chopped almonds for an extra crunchy texture and nutty flavor.
  9. Place the coated apples on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool and harden. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes.
  10. If desired, serve the toffee and cinnamon apples with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful combination of flavors.
  11. Enjoy your homemade Toffee and Cinnamon Apples!
