Failure at Caramel Apples


I screwed up the caramel apples. Now, I don't really think I screwed them up, I think the recipe stinks. It is from Epicurious.com, which usually has good recipes. Not this time. Although the caramel is somewhat tasty, it is to soft to stay on the apples and most fell off. There is a little warning that they give you about that, complete with this rather benign looking picture of someone pushing caramel back onto the apples (those fingers are from epicurious.com). Its a lot of sticky pushing for a dozen apples. Even Male Martha has better things to do (in this case, go to the Ranger's game). The good news is that all of the leftover caramel sits in a greased bowl and will be an excellent topping for ice cream.

They are not a total disaster. The leftover caramel is quite tasty and would be good heated as a topping for icecream. Not my finger as they are not hairy enough. Stolen from epicurious.com
