Ingredients

• ½ cup/120 ml MagicalButter (plus 1 tablespoon/15 ml for the bottom of the apples when cooling)
• ¼ cup/60 ml MagicalButter Vanilla Tincture
• 1 cup/240 ml sugar
• ½ cup/120 ml brown sugar

How To

1. Place a sheet of parchment paper on a cookie sheet, and butter the area where you will place the apples to cool off.
2. Push the popsicle sticks into the apple tops where the stems were.
3. Stir the MagicalButter, vanilla tincture, sugars, cream, corn syrup, and honey in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat for 2 minutes.

5. Once the caramel has reached the desired temperature, pour it into a bowl. Dip the apples into the caramel as much or little as you prefer, to achieve the desired coating thickness.
