Every year I test another filling for Hamantaschen cookies. This year I wanted something sweet and salty and came up with this filling. It is sweet but the salt offsets it.

Ingredients:

How to: Preheat oven to 450

1. The first step is to make the “caramel” by pouring 1 can of sweetened condensed milk into a glass pie plate
2. Sprinkle with salt
3. Cover plate with aluminum foil
4. Put plate into a large roasting pan and fill pan with water so that it reaches half way up pie plate
5. Put pan in oven and cook for 90 minutes, checking the water level through out.
6. Remove from oven, remove foil and whisk the caramel adding a bit more salt.
7. Let cool.
8. Wash, peel and core apples.
9. Shred apples
10. On stove top boil 3/4 cup water and 3/4 sugar
11. Add apples and cook until all liquid has cooked out
12. Remove from heat and add caramel and salt to taste.
13. Let cool
