Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium apples
- 2 cups caramel candies
- 2 tablespoons water
- Toppings of choice (nuts, sprinkles, chocolate)
Instructions
- Choose crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor.
- Wash and dry the apples thoroughly before dipping to ensure the caramel adheres properly.
- In a saucepan, combine the caramel candies and water over medium heat.
- Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of the caramel.
- Aim for 240°F to achieve a soft ball stage.
- Once the caramel reaches the desired temperature, remove it from heat.
- Insert a stick into the top of each apple.
- Dip each apple into the caramel, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Allow excess caramel to drip off before placing the apple on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Customize your toppings by rolling the caramel-coated apples in nuts, sprinkles, or drizzling with chocolate.
- Cool completely to allow the caramel to set before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to allow the caramel to set completely before serving to prevent it from slipping off the apple.
