We started with a pound cake recipe, but added in cinnamon and finely chopped apple. Then we made that into cake pops which we put on sticks and dipped in caramel.
Some also got rolled in peanuts
But then we tasted one. The apple cake didn't come through at all. The flavor was much too subtle. It couldn't stand up to the caramel, much less the peanuts. So we injected them with an apple cider reduction.
Mmmm....
That worked really well and wasn't as messy as the picture makes it look. I'm looking forward to injecting more pops. It's a great way to introduce a strong flavor.
Not all of the pops got caramel. Some got just a bright red candy coating.
For the bake sale, everything had to be individually packaged. We ended up with several dozen cake pops and from what I hear, they went over very well.
