This Halloween treat combines black caramel-coated apples with a creamy apple pie milkshake. Start by making the black caramel apples, then blend a milkshake with vanilla ice cream, apple pie filling, and warm spices. Garnish the glasses with black caramel and top with the poisoned apples for a frightfully delicious drink.

Directions

Remove the wax coating from store-bought apples by washing them in hot water, then drying thoroughly.

Take out the apple stems and insert sticks in their place.

Set the apples aside or chill them in the refrigerator.

In a saucepan, combine heavy whipping cream, light corn syrup, light brown sugar, butter, and salt. Cook over heat for 15–20 minutes until the mixture reaches 240°F on a candy thermometer.

Remove the caramel from heat and stir in vanilla extract and black food coloring using a wooden spoon. Add food coloring gradually until you get a deep black color.

Let the caramel cool to 190°F, then dip each apple into the black caramel.

Allow excess caramel to drip off, then place the dipped apples on parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Let the apples set while you prepare the milkshake.

Garnish the rims of your glasses with leftover black caramel sauce.

Place the glasses in the freezer to chill while you make the milkshake.

In a blender, combine milk, vanilla ice cream, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and apple pie filling. Blend on high until smooth.

Drizzle more black caramel sauce inside the chilled glasses, pour in the milkshake, add a black straw, and top each with a black caramel apple.
