Step by Step Method
Step 1
Combine sugar, corn syrup, honey and salt in a heavy-bottom 3-quart saucepan.
Step 2
Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the mixture begins to simmer around the edges.
Step 3
Wash the sugar and syrup from the inside of the pot with a wet pastry brush or a wad of paper towel dipped in water.
Step 4
Cover and continue to cook for about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Rinse the spoon before using it again later.
Step 6
Uncover the pot and rinse the sides once more.
Step 7
Insert a candy thermometer without letting it touch the bottom of the pot.
Step 8
Cook, uncovered, without stirring until the mixture reaches 305 degrees
Step 9
Meanwhile, bring the cream to a simmer and keep it hot until needed.
Step 10
When the sugar mixture reaches 305 degrees, turn the heat off.
Step 11
Stir in the butter chunks.
Step 12
Gradually stir in the hot cream.
Step 13
Turn the heat back on under the pot and adjust it so that the mixture boils energetically.
Step 14
Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until temperature reaches 250 degrees.
Step 15
Remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla.
Step 16
Transfer the caramel to a smaller pot or heatproof bowl deep enough to dip the apples.
Step 17
Cool for 10 minutes.
Step 18
Impale each apple on a stick.
Step 19
Holding the stick, dip an apple into the caramel, allowing the excess to flow back into the pot.
Step 20
Set the apple on a sheet of waxed paper. Repeat to coat each apple.
Step 21
Let the dipped apples set until the caramel is cool and firm, at least 30 minutes
Step 22
Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over barely simmering water, stirring frequently, until almost entirely melted.
Step 23
Remove from heat and stir until completely melted and warm.
Step 24
Dip each apple into the chocolate, allowing the excess chocolate to flow back into the bowl.
Step 25
If desired, sprinkle with sprinkles.
Step 26
Set the dipped apples on a tray lined with waxed paper.
Step 27
Refrigerate to set the chocolate, keep the apples fresh and crisp, and keep the chocolate from discoloring.
