This caramel apple is a work of art, beautiful to the point where you would consider leaving it out as a centerpiece before even thinking about cutting into it. Cooked up by Tartelette, the caramel is a dairy-free combination of sugar and a touch of lemon juice. Light and clear, the cooked sugar allows the beauty of the apple underneath to come through clearly, which is something that cannot be said for all caramel or candied apples.
This treat is a classic choice for fall, when apples are plentiful and their natural sweetness is only enhanced by the addition of sugar, and is a simple alternative to cooked desserts like pies and tarts. Because it does not use cream or butter in the caramel, it is also much lighter than the average caramel apple, which means that you could have an extra piece or two of that Halloween candy along side it without feeling too guilty.
