Ingredients
- Apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Fuji)

- Milk or heavy cream (if melting caramel squares)
- Toppings: chopped nuts, sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, crushed cookies, shredded coconut, sea salt
- Popsicle sticks or wooden skewers
- Wax paper or parchment paper
Instructions
- Wash and dry apples thoroughly. Remove stems and insert popsicle sticks into the top of each apple.
- If using caramel squares, melt them in a double boiler or microwave with a tablespoon of milk or heavy cream until smooth. If using prepared caramel sauce, heat gently.
- Dip each apple into the melted caramel, coating evenly. Let excess caramel drip off.
- Immediately roll the caramel-coated apple in your desired toppings.
- Place the caramel apples on wax paper or parchment paper to set. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to help the caramel harden.
- Arrange your caramel apples on a platter or stand for serving.
Notes
