Ingredients
- A batch of 6 crisp Granny Smith apples
- A set of 6 sturdy wooden sticks
- A package of individually wrapped caramels (14 ounces), ready to be unwrapped
- A couple of tablespoons of water
- A hint of vanilla extract (½ teaspoon)
Step 1
Skewer wooden sticks into the stem end of the apples, leaving a bit of the stick exposed for easy holding. Arrange the prepared apples on a cookie sheet lined with lightly greased aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a saucepan set over low heat, combine caramels with a splash of water. Stir the mixture frequently until the caramel is fully melted and has a smooth consistency. Enhance the flavor by stirring in a dash of vanilla extract.
Step 3
Carefully dip each apple into the velvety caramel, allowing the excess to drip off back into the saucepan. For a neat finish, glide the apples along the sides of the saucepan to remove any excess caramel clinging to the surface.
Step 4
Gently place the coated apples on the prepared aluminum foil and let them cool in the refrigerator until they are firm and ready to be enjoyed. A perfect treat for any occasion!
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Wrap 'em up: Store your decadent caramel apples in individual plastic wrap or wax paper to maintain freshness and prevent them from sticking together.
- 2. Keep cool and dry: Store your caramel apples in the refrigerator to keep the caramel firm and prevent it from melting. Make sure they are placed in a dry container to avoid moisture.
