Nothing is more traditional around Halloween than making Caramel Apples and this Caramel Apple Recipe is one that our kids really love to help make.
Instead of just Caramel Dipped Apples you could also roll them in different toppings to create gourmet caramel apples.
Here are some suggestions:
Coarsely chopped OREO Cookies, Miniature Marshmallows mixed with 1/4 cup sprinkles, coarsely chopped peanuts or pecans, Mini M&M's, chopped peanut butter cups or just about anything that you like.
Wash and dry apples thoroughly so that caramel adheres to the apple peel.
Caramel Apples
Ingredients:
- 6 Granny Smith apples
- 6 wooden sticks
- 1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
|
Preparation:
- Insert wooden sticks 3/4 of the way into the stem end of each apple.
- Place apples on a cookie sheet covered with lightly greased aluminum foil.
- Combine caramels and water in a saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring often, until caramel melts and is smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla.
- Dip apples into melted caramel until evenly coated, spooning caramel over apples if necessary. Allow excess caramel to drip off. Scrape bottoms of apples and roll into bowls filled with different toppings and then place on a plate covered with wax paper.
- Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until ready to serve.
