Ingredients:

• 4 organic medium apples
• 1 cup Golden Age Jams Apple Butter (all-natural and preservative-free)
• 1/2 cup of natural sweetener (honey or maple syrup are good choices)
• 1/2 cup of natural light corn syrup (i.e. agave nectar)
• 1/2 cup organic heavy cream
• 1/4 cup unsalted organic butter
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of natural sea salt
• Wooden skewers
• Chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions:

1. Wash and dry the apples. Insert a wooden skewer into the stem end of each apple.

2. In a small saucepan, combine the Golden Age Jams Apple Butter, natural sweetener, and natural light corn syrup. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it comes to a boil.

3. Once the mixture is boiling, continue for 10-12 minutes or until it reaches 250°F on a candy thermometer. (Keep a close eye on it to avoid burning.)

4. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully stir in the organic heavy cream, unsalted organic butter, pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of natural sea salt. These all-natural ingredients will add depth and balance to our caramel coating.

5. Dip each apple into the caramel mixture, using a spoon to help coat the apple evenly. Consider rolling the caramel-coated apples in chopped nuts, such as peanuts, almonds, or pecans, for a crunchy and flavorful twist. Allow any excess caramel to drip off before placing the apple on a sheet of wax paper to cool and harden. 

6. Once the caramel has hardened, serve and enjoy! For extra flair serve the Apple Butter Caramel Apples on a platter garnished with decorative fall leaves or foliage.
