Ingredients
- Firm Apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji)
- Caramel (store-bought or homemade)
- Toppings (chopped nuts, sprinkles, crushed cookies)
- Chocolate (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Gather Your Ingredients: Set up your workspace with all the ingredients within reach.
- Prepare the Apples: Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Remove stems and insert sticks into the tops.
- Melt the Caramel: In a heavy saucepan, heat the caramel over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Dip the Apples: Immerse each apple into the melted caramel, ensuring it’s fully coated. Lift and rotate to let excess caramel drip off, then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Add Toppings: Before the caramel sets, roll or sprinkle your desired toppings.
- Let it Set: Allow the apples to sit at room temperature until the caramel hardens.
Notes
For best results, keep the apples in a cool, dry place to preserve their freshness.
