Great for parties, family nights, or Halloween gatherings, this is as much an activity as it is a dessert.
Ingredients
8–10 medium apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji work best)
1 (14 oz) bag soft caramel candies, unwrapped
2 tbsp heavy cream
Wooden sticks or skewers
Toppings Ideas:
Chopped peanuts, almonds, or pecans
Mini chocolate chips
Sprinkles
Crushed cookies (Oreos, graham crackers)
Mini marshmallows
Candy corn
Crushed pretzels
Shredded coconut
Instructions
Wash and dry apples thoroughly. Insert a wooden stick into the top of each apple.
In a saucepan, melt caramels with heavy cream over low heat, stirring until smooth.
Dip each apple into the caramel, turning to coat evenly.
Let excess drip off, then place apples on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
While caramel is still soft, roll apples in desired toppings or sprinkle them over the top.
Chill in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes until set.
