Caramel Apples
Ingredients
- 1 cup agave nectar or honey
- 1¼ cups heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon celtic sea salt
- apples, sliced, for dipping
Instructions
- Heat agave in a saucepan until tiny bubbles form around the edges --a very low simmer
- Continue heating agave this way for 5 minutes (reduces water content of the agave)
- Add heavy cream and salt, then bring mixture to a boil
- Reduce heat to an active simmer (Heidi's words); continue to simmer actively for 7-10 minutes :-)
- Remove mixture from heat when the caramel reaches a darker nutty color
- Place saucepan in a large bowl of ice water to cool and thicken caramel
- Place a large bowl of apple slices on the table
- Provide an individual ramekin of caramel to each of your hungry little ghosts and goblins
- Wash their hands with a wet rag before they leave the table

Hi!
I just made this with unsweetened coconut milk instead of heavy cream and used coconut syrup (made by cooking down 3:1 organic coconut sugar to water) instead of agave. It’s delicious! Thanks so much for the recipe.
