Many of us are thinking of caramel apples, dunking for apples, or even better, U-Pick apples—what a fun weekend activity for the whole family. Continue the fun with candy apples.
Instructions for how to make caramel apples:
Prepare a baking sheet covered with parchment or waxed paper.
Wash and dry about 6-8 medium-sized apples, and skewer them at the stem end with a popsicle stick.
Place one bag of unwrapped caramel pieces into a large, microwave-safe bowl. Add 2 Tablespoons of water and microwave on high for 2 minutes, stirring after each minute. If needed, cook on high for an additional 20-30 seconds, stirring until smooth and of dipping consistency.
Immediately dip the apples into melted caramel and twist to coat evenly.
Place the coated apples on the waxed paper and refrigerate for 1 hour.
For an extra special treat, sprinkle or roll apples with chopped nuts or granola before refrigerating.
