Spider Webbed Caramel Apples

Caramel Apples have been a 

Purple Chocolat Home tradition for

ages now.

Click here to see my

 "Mrs. Jacqueline'sGourmet Caramel Apples"

  that I dipped

last year and to get the recipe for my

easy homemade caramel.  Once you have

tried this easy recipe, you will never spend

your time unwrapping those other caramels!

Last year I made them before Beaulah

came out of her box, so this year she thought she

would get in on the fun and make them a little

spookier.

Just dip your apples completely covering

the entire apple.  Place the covered apple on

a well buttered piece of foil so it won't stick

to the foil.  Let it cool completely so that the

chocolate won't slide off the warm caramel.

We chose to cut a twig off the apple tree

for our "stem".

Place your apple on an upturned

glass that you have buttered the bottom of

(so your beautiful creation won't end

up stuck to the glass.)

Now pipe chocolate on using the smallest

tip and starting with  the vertical lines.

We started by

dividing the apple into quarters and then

smaller until you have 12 - 16 vertical

lines.  

It gets a little tricky as the apple curves

under toward the bottom.  You may want to

start from the bottom and connect halfway up.

Pipe the horizontal lines, turning the glass as you

go.  Don't worry if it doesn't seem perfect, ours

certainly were not.  When you are finished you

won't notice the flaws.

Great way to add some

Halloween drama to your

seasonal caramel apples.

(We actually went out with two of the grandkids

and braved the

rain and a little snow today to pick these

off the tree.   The snow actually came halfway

down the mountain!  Too early for my blood.)

If you didn't read my post from 

last year, tie CDs on your apple trees to keep

the birds from eating into every apple.  

They still munch on the ones that fall on

the ground.

  It works like a charm!

(Beaulah thought she would look

charming in sepia to match the 

color of the chocolate on the apples.)
