Caramel Apple Instructions
  1. Wash and dry the apples thoroughly, then remove the stems and insert a craft stick or skewer into the stem end of each apple.
  2. Unwrap the caramels and place them in a microwave-safe bowl with the water; microwave for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  3. Dip each apple into the melted caramel, turning to coat evenly, and scrape off any excess caramel from the bottom.
  4. Place the coated apples on waxed paper and allow them to cool and set completely before serving.

Notes

For best results, use firm, crisp apples. You can also add toppings like chopped nuts or sprinkles before the caramel sets.
