Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound caramels, unwrapped
- 2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
- 12–15 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala)
- 12–15 wooden popsicle sticks or skewers
- Assorted toppings: chopped nuts, sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, crushed cookies, shredded coconut, sea salt
Instructions
- Wash and dry apples thoroughly. Insert a stick into the stem end of each apple.
- In a slow cooker, combine caramels and milk. Cook on low, stirring occasionally, until caramels are melted and smooth. This usually takes about 1-2 hours.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Dip each apple into the melted caramel, tilting the bowl to coat evenly. Let excess caramel drip off.
- Place coated apples on the prepared baking sheet.
- Arrange toppings in separate bowls.
- Allow caramel to set slightly before guests begin decorating.
Notes
- To prevent apples from browning before dipping, you can dip them in a solution of 1 tablespoon lemon juice mixed with 1 cup of water for 30 seconds, then pat dry.
- Keep the caramel warm in the slow cooker on the ‘warm’ setting.
- Offer a variety of toppings to suit different tastes.
