November 7, 2012

This elegant dessert evokes all the fun of a caramel apple but is a whole lot cleaner and easier to eat—and to share. McIntosh and Golden Delicious apples tend to break down when cooked, so use firmer cooking apples such as Cameo, Cortland, or Braeburn. Save leftover sauce for another use, such as an ice cream topping, a sweet fondue, or dip.
