There are some truly iconic Disney Movie Foods out there – from the Spaghetti and Meatballs in Lady And The Tramp, to “The Grey Stuff” From Beauty And The Beast – what would those scenes be without those foods? Food really can be an integral part of a plotline or story (believe it or not), and if you’ve ever wanted to be able to recreate these dishes in your own kitchen, then YOU’RE IN LUCK – because there are actually lists out there Like This One – that make it easy to Disney-fy your menu!
One of my favorite parts of Mary Poppins is this scene where Bert, Jane and Michael are sitting and enjoying their caramel apples at the races, and when I saw the recipe included on the list, I knew I had to go for it. Check out how I recreated these awesome treats:
Caramel Apples
(Recipe Courtesy Of Lil’ Luna
You Will Need:
-Apples!
-Sticks (Skewers Or Lollipop sticks work well, I actually searched for “apple sticks” on amazon and that’s how I found mine!)
-Brach’s Milk Maid Caramels – 1-2 pounds (depending on how many apples you’re wanting to coat – Brach’s recommends allowing approximately 9 caramels per apple)
-2 Tbsp water per pound of caramels
-Assorted Toppings – sprinkles, crushed oreos, crushed candies (like M & M’s), chopped nuts, etc
-White Candy Melts
Directions:
1. Wash apples (to remove off wax so caramel sticks better!)
2. Remove stems and add skewers/sticks (sticking them approx. 1-2 inches into the apple)
3. Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
4. Melt Caramels and water together over a double boiler
OR – alternately, Melt caramels and water by continuously stirring on LOW heat in a medium
Saucepan
NOTE: You may want to melt the caramels one bag at a time because you want the caramel to stay hot for the
entire process (It starts to cool after awhile which can make the apples harder to dip in it!)
5. Dip cold apples in caramel, and place back on parchment paper. Refrigerate again.
6. Dip in melted chocolate or white chocolate and dip in candy or sprinkles.
7. Refrigerate again and take out half hour before serving.
You can really make this your own creation – with different color candy melts, different toppings – my best friend and my son really loved helping create (and EAT!) these amazing treats!
Personally, I am a huge Caramel Apple fan – I love in Upstate New York and love to pick my own apples and then turn them into amazing treats – and what is more amazing a treat than dipping a freshly picked, crispy tart apple in SUGARY sweet caramel?
And if you aren’t lucky enough to be able to grab one of the amazingly intricate ones they sell at the Disney Parks, then you should try out this recipe for yourselves!
