Pommes Caramel (Caramel Apples)

Ingredients:

1/3 c Butter
1 c Sugar; Brown pref.
1 tsp. Vanilla
6 Apples

Melt butter in fry pan and add sugar. Stir till sugar is dissolved or softened and everything is well blended, then add vanilla.
Core unpeeled apples, cut them into quarters and add to hot sugar. Simmer uncovered over medium heat, basting often with the syrup for 15-20 minutes.

To quote the author, "Make these with the first fresh apples. In Quebec we use the first ripe Melbas. Served hot or cold, they are superb on ice cream."

Cooking Tips:

Pumpkin substitute: At the last minute, you find that you thought you had pumpkin for a recipe, then you find out you don't. You might just have some sweet potatoes! Sweet potatoes are a good substitute for pumpkin, and pumpkin is a good substitute for sweet potatoes (in certain recipes).

Pie Crust: If you are having trouble with your crust browning too soon around the rim, place some tin foil around it prevent burning.

Frying Turkey: If you are frying a turkey, please use precautions, and the correct type of oil. Peanut oil is the best oil to use as it has a lower flash point, and doesn't catch on fire as easily as other oils. NEVER fry a turkey indoors!

Injecting a Turkey: There are several Cajun marinades (and others) that come with an injector to add more flavor. Personally, I like the marinades that Tony Chachere makes.
