List of Ingredients

3 packages (14 oz.) caramel candies
2 tablespoons water
6-8 large Granny Smith apples
6-8 heavy wooden skewers or sticks

melted chocolate and/or white chocolate
see directions below for amounts

Optional:
chopped peanuts or other nuts
or
toasted coconut
or
candy sprinkles
or
Oreo® cookie crumbs
or
chopped candy bars

waxed paper




Recipe

Line a large cookie sheet with buttered waxed paper, set aside.

Wash and completely dry apples. Insert a stick through stems. Sometimes it helps to use two sticks or even a fork, as these apples become quite heavy during the dipping process and a single stick may break. If you plan on using nuts coconut or any of the other optional coating ingredients get them ready by placing in a small bowl.

Combine caramels and water in medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until caramels melt. Cool slightly. You can also use your slow cooker to melt the caramel, like we did in the photo (we were making a lot of apples). Dip each apple in caramel mixture, coating evenly, use a spoon to help you cover the top part of the apple as in photo 1. Allow caramel to set slightly and then dip in caramel again (that's right, two coatings of caramel -- I warned you these apples were decadent!).- -Cheri Sicard
