Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Medium apples (preferably Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Gala) Choose apples that are firm and not mealy.
  • 1 package Store-bought caramels (about 12 oz) Or homemade caramel if preferred.
  • 2 tablespoons Heavy cream Used to melt with the caramel.
  • 4 pieces Popsicle sticks For inserting into the apples.

Toppings (optional)

  • 1 cup Crushed cookies or nuts For sprinkling over the caramel.
  • 1 cup Halloween sprinkles For a festive touch.
  • 1 cup Gummy worms Optional for decoration.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Wash and thoroughly dry the apples to remove any wax.
  • Insert a popsicle stick into the top of each apple.

Melting Caramel

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the store-bought caramels and heavy cream.
  • Melt the caramel in the microwave, checking every 30 seconds and stirring until smooth.

Dipping and Decorating

  • Dip each apple into the melted caramel, twisting to coat evenly.
  • Let excess caramel drip off, then place the apple upside-down on a parchment-lined sheet.
  • Sprinkle with your choice of toppings before the caramel sets.

Serving

  • Serve the caramel apples on parchment paper for less mess.
  • Slice for easy sharing, especially for kids.

Notes

Keep caramel apples in the fridge, each wrapped or in separate bags to avoid sticking.
