Spiderweb Apples Recipes

MARSHMALLOW WEB APPLES

Steps:

• Wash and dry the apples and remove the stems. Insert a wooden apple skewer or paper straw into each about halfway through (pierce first with a skewer if using straws). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
• Microwave the marshmallows in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue to microwave in 10-second increments, stirring after each, until fully melted. Let cool until just slightly warm to the touch, not hot.
• Using both hands, grab the melted marshmallows with your fingertips and pull apart to create a "webbed" look. Wrap webs around each apple (see Cook's Note).

HALLOWEEN SPIDERWEB APPLES

Steps:

• Stick a wooden stick into each apple.
• In a medium sized microwave-safe bowl, put marshmallows and butter, and heat on HIGH in the microwave for 15 seconds. Stir. Heat for another 10 seconds and stir. Marshmallows should be smooth and pourable at this point, if not, heat in 10 second intervals until ready.
• While still very hot, dip each apple one at a time into the marshmallow (you may need to return to microwave for a few seconds if marshmallow starts to get stiff). Lightly roll each in crispy rice, and set on a wax paper-covered cookie sheet 1-2" apart.
• Reheat any leftover marshmallows (you may need to add one or two at this point). With a spoon, drizzle remaining marshmallow over apples, giving them a "spiderweb" look. While still hot, put sprinkles on the coating, if desired.
• Allow to cool completely before serving. These are very sticky, but tasty!

SPIDERWEB APPLES

Steps:

• WASH and dry apples. Remove stems, and insert wooden craft sticks into stem ends of apples. Set aside.
• COOK caramels and 1/3 cup water in a large saucepan over low to medium heat until smooth, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
• DIP apples into hot caramel, spooning caramel mixture over apples to coat completely. Scrape excess caramel from bottom of each apple; roll coated apples in crushed pretzels, and place on greased wax paper-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate at least 15 minutes or until caramel is set.
• SPOON chocolate frosting into a small heavy-duty, zip-top plastic bag; seal bag. Submerge bag in a small saucepan of hot water until frosting is thin enough to pipe.
• SNIP a tiny hole in 1 corner of bag, using scissors. Drizzle warm chocolate in a webbed design over each apple. Repeat heating and drizzling procedure with vanilla frosting.
• CHILL apples until firm. Wrap apples in cellophane wrap, and tie with heavy string.
