Prep: 20 minutes plus chilling
\nCook: 30 minutes \u2022 Serves: 8<\/span> <\/p>\n

<\/span>PICS unsalted butter<\/strong> for coating parchment
\n8\t<\/span>wooden ice pop or craft sticks
\n8\t<\/span>medium Gala, Granny Smith, Jonathan or McIntosh apples, stems removed<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Praline<\/span><\/p>\n

1-1\/2 <\/span>cups PICS granulated sugar<\/strong>
\n1-1\/2<\/span>cups PICS whole almonds<\/strong>, coarsely chopped<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Caramel<\/span><\/p>\n

1\/2 <\/span>cup PICS unsalted butter<\/strong> (1 stick)
\n1\t<\/span>can (14 ounces) PICS sweetened condensed milk<\/strong>
\n2\t<\/span>cups packed PICS light brown sugar<\/strong>
\n1\t<\/span>cup PICS light corn syrup<\/strong>
\n1\/2<\/span>teaspoon salt
\n1\t<\/span>teaspoon vanilla extract<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

1.<\/span>Line rimmed baking pan with parchment or waxed paper; coat paper with butter. Line second rimmed baking pan with parchment or waxed paper. Insert 1 wooden stick halfway into stem-end of each apple; place on pan with unbuttered paper.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2.<\/span>Prepare Praline: In large nonstick skillet, cook granulated sugar over medium heat 13 to 15 minutes or until sugar melts and caramelizes, occasionally shaking skillet. Add almonds; shake skillet to coat nuts with caramel, then immediately pour mixture onto prepared buttered pan; cool in pan on wire rack. Once cooled, break almond mixture into pieces, then coarsely chop; transfer to pie plate or wide, shallow dish.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3.<\/span>Prepare Caramel: Attach candy thermometer to heavy 4-quart saucepot; add butter and melt over low heat. Stir in condensed milk, brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Cook over medium-low heat 15 to 20 minutes or until candy thermometer reaches 240\u00b0, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla extract. Stir to cool caramel to 200\u00b0.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4.<\/span>Dip and swirl each apple into caramel until evenly coated, allowing excess to drip into saucepot. Dip top and roll sides of apples in praline, pressing lightly so praline adheres; stand caramel apples on same pan. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 3 days. To serve, let apples stand at room temperature 10 minutes before serving.
