Making Candied Apples with Maple Chai Tea

My office was having an apple contest.

I decided to make the candied apples I used to love as a kid.  I then added Ohio Tea Companies, Maple Chai Tea for some depth of flavor and some warming spices.

I peeled and cored the apples.

I took 4 Tbsp Chai Tea (in a tea bag)

2 Tbsp Caramel Syrup

2 bags of Cinnamon Candies

1/4 C Sugar

5 C water

I melted the candies in the water mixture.

Once the candies were melted I added apples to the liquid.

I added all the apples.  I kept stirring and making sure the liquid got on all the apples,

I changed my aunt's recipe a bit, below is her recipe.

After 15 minutes I put the apples in the 9X13 and poured the liquid over the apples.  I put in the fridge overnight.

I served them cold - but you could easily serve them warm.

We had lots of fun items submitted.  And I didn't win anything, but I was glad I created a new recipe. 

There are a few things I tried.  The sandwiches were my favorite- I ate it without the bun. 

After my lunch my friends and I went in search of Sunflowers....we were not successful.  But ,we had lots of laughs.
