Caramel Apples
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
6 tablespoons water
8 to 10 Popsicle sticks
8 to 10 apples (McIntoshes work well)
Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the brown sugar and water. Stir until it has a smooth consistency.
Gently bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 3 minutes, until the pan's sides get steamy and the mixture is thin but somewhat sticky. Remove from heat.
Pierce the center of each apple with a Popsicle stick, then swirl in the caramel syrup until coated.
Place apples on a greased cookie sheet to harden. Refrigerate for at least 1 to 2 hours.
Serves 8 to 10.
