Delight in these shiny, crispy caramel apples topped with rich dark chocolate and shimmering edible glitter for a festive treat.

Ingredients

Apples

  • 8 medium firm apples (Granny Smith or Fuji) (dry and shiny)
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar (preferably good quality for smoky flavor)
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter (adds richness and gloss)
  • 0.25 cup water (just enough to dissolve sugar)
  • 0.5 cup dark chocolate (for optional drizzle, melted)
  • 1 tablespoon edible glitter (optional, for shimmering effect)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, brightens caramel)

Instructions 

  • Insert skewers into apples and set on parchment-lined tray.
  • Combine sugar, butter, water, and lemon juice; cook over medium heat until amber and 150°C, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove caramel from heat and dip apples, swirling to coat evenly. Let set for 15 minutes.
  • Melt dark chocolate and drizzle over set toffee apples. Sprinkle edible glitter while tacky.
  • Allow chocolate and glitter to set before serving.
