Best with Organic Cooked Beets

Vegan Beet Caramel Apples

Prep Time: 10 min // Cook Time: 10 min Servings: 13 caramel covered apples

What to do

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, syrup, and beet puree and cook over medium-high heat covered with a lid, for about 8 minutes. Remove lid and let the caramel continue to boil until it reaches 275 degrees F.
  2. Add the sweetened condensed milk, coconut oil, salt, and Love Beets beet powder once it has reached 275 F and then continue to cook until the caramel reaches 245 degrees F.
  3. Carefully pour the hot caramel into a heat safe bowl, and let cool for 5 minutes while preparing the apples.
  4. Make sure your apples are dry after rinsing. Place branches or popsicle sticks inserted into the centers of each stem end of the apple. Set the apples on a parchment lined sheet pan. Dip the apples in the caramel and set on the parchment.
  5. Before the caramel has set, add desired toppings and enjoy!

Note: If the caramel starts to set you can add a few splashes of warm milk or place back in a saucepot to re-heat.
