For a decorative touch, consider dipping the caramel apples in chopped nuts, sprinkles, or chocolate shavings immediately after coating them in caramel. To prevent the caramel from becoming too thick while dipping, keep the saucepan over very low heat or in a warm water bath. If you prefer a richer caramel flavor, use salted caramels and omit the vanilla extract. Ensure the apples are dry before dipping to help the caramel adhere properly.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Apples: Gently insert a wooden stick approximately 3/4 of the way into the stem end of each apple. Ensure the stick is secure for easy handling. Place the prepared apples on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased aluminum foil. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Melt the Caramel: In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the unwrapped caramels and water. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Continue stirring until the caramel is completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. (10-15 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Coat the Apples: One at a time, dip each apple into the melted caramel, rotating to ensure an even and generous coating. Gently swirl the apple around the inside of the saucepan to remove excess caramel, creating a smooth finish. For a cleaner look, scrape any excess caramel from the bottom of the apple against the side of the saucepan. (5-7 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Chill and Set: Place the coated apples back onto the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the caramel has set and is firm to the touch. (30+ minutes)

Jan 30, 2024Next time, I'll try using a double boiler to melt the caramel. It seemed to help keep it smoother.
