  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation Steps

  • Remove from heat and quickly stir in heavy cream, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Mix in chopped apples and cinnamon, then pour mixture onto a greased baking sheet.
  • Allow to cool slightly until firm but still pliable, then pull and stretch taffy to aerate it.
  • Cut into pieces and let cool completely before serving.

Notes

This taffy tastes best when freshly made and stored in an airtight container for up to one week.
