For the best flavor, use high-quality caramels and fresh, crisp apples. If the caramel becomes too thick during the dipping process, microwave it in 15-second intervals, stirring well, to restore its smooth consistency. To prevent the apples from slipping off the sticks, make sure the sticks are inserted deeply and securely. Experiment with different toppings to create your own signature caramel apple variations.

Sep 22, 2023The refrigeration time is key! It really helps the caramel set and prevents it from being too sticky.

Jun 20, 2023Instead of microwaving, I melted the caramels in a double boiler. It took a little longer, but it was worth it for the smoother texture.
