Caramel Apple Recipe

Nothing is more traditional than making a Caramel Apple Recipe. As you can see by the photo to the right that you can make them more flavorful by rolling them in different toppings. Some suggestions are: Coarsely chopped OREO Cookies, Miniature Marshmallows mixed with 1/4 cup sprinkles, coarsely chopped peanuts or pecans, 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, then place on a plate covered with wax paper.
Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until ready to serve.
