5. Salted Caramel Apple
Sweet caramel is what we’ve become accustomed too, but salted caramel is starting to rival what we’ve come to expect as the norm. Perhaps it seems like a strange choice when a sweet apple is the main component of this arrangement, but who would’ve thought that bacon and maple syrup made such good lovers? Not many people, but their symbiotic deliciousness is simply undeniable. To that end, using salted caramel for your caramel apples has to be at least worth a shot.
The best type of salt to use is sea salt, as it won’t dissolve away and the larger crystals will add definition to the partnership. By all means, you can mix regular table salt in with the caramel mixture for added flavor, but the larger crystals of the sea salt really make this recipe stand out from the crowd. Salted caramel isn’t for everyone, but those who appreciate it might even want to pour a little salt over the finished product, for the ultimate in salty-sweet treats.
