Caramel Apple Popsicles

Popsicles aren't just for kids, but this new grown-up version will remind you of the classic, old-fashioned flavors you loved as a child.

Tart baked Apples and sweet oat nuggets are combined to burst your yummy-bubble in this amazing frozen treat.  A final luscious drizzle of salty caramel adds an irresistible dimension of flavor that'll send you back for seconds...  if they haven't all disappeared. ;-)

Step 1: Ingredients and Tools- A General Overview

Ingredients:  Here's the quick rundown. In each step, I'll reiterate all of the ingredients and exact quantities needed.

Apple filling:

• Baking Apples- please see list below for the best choices
• Brown Sugar
• Ground Cinnamon
• Butter
• Sugar
• Vanilla Extract
• Water
• Heavy Cream 

Baking Apple Choices:  

• Granny Smith
• Jonathons
• Jonagolds
• Rome Beauty
• Honeycrisp
• Melrose
• Braeburn
• Winesap
• Golden Delicious
• Cortland
• Gala

I used 2 Granny Smiths and 1 Braeburn Apple.  The mingled flavor was tart, sweet and fantastic!  Feel free to mix and match depending on what varieties of baking apples are available in your area.  

Oat Nuggets: 

• Quick-cooking Oats 
• Brown Sugar
• Flour
• Ground Cinnamon
• Butter

Caramel Magic Shell:   

• Caramel flavored baking chips- not candy - May substitute with Butterscotch baking chips
• Coconut Oil 
• Sea salt

Tools: 

The only (somewhat) special tools you'll need for this recipe are a blender, popsicle molds and craft sticks.  The popsicle molds I'm using are JUMBO-size and hold 1/2 cup each, whereas traditional popsicle molds only hold about half that much.  If you don't have popsicle molds, you can always use little dixie cups.

OH my friend you had me at caramel...apples just adds to the favorite list and tart and sweet tops it. I love caramel apples...and the gourmet ones are especially fun. I wish I had someone to make these for. I guess I could share with the neighbors. Good job and my mouth is also yearning for a taste. (* CH sugar.
