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.
