  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium apples
  • 6 wooden sticks
  • 14 ounces caramels
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • Optional toppings: chopped nuts, sprinkles, chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry apples thoroughly. Insert a wooden stick into the stem end of each apple.
  2. Unwrap caramels and place them in a microwave-safe bowl with milk.
  3. Microwave on medium power in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
  4. Dip each apple into the melted caramel, turning to coat completely.
  5. If using toppings, sprinkle them over the caramel-coated apples immediately after dipping.
  6. Place apples on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the caramel to set.

Notes

  • For easier dipping, use a tall, narrow bowl for the melted caramel.
  • Ensure apples are completely dry before dipping to help the caramel adhere better.
  • Store caramel apples in the refrigerator to prevent the caramel from softening.
