Caramel apples

I had my first caramel apple in Chicago earlier this year (pictured above). I gave into it because it looked so yummy, but I found it hard to eat without getting all sticky. Also, the caramel itself wasn’t great. It was hard as taffy and separated from the apple as I ate it.

However, the idea of green apples with caramel lingered in my head and led me to experiment. Now I’ve become a little bit obsessed with my own version of this dessert.

I slice up a small green apple and arrange the slices around my favorite caramel, using it as a dip. My favorite is “La Pataia” Dulce de Leche.
