Caramel Apples
Report
A sweet and entertaining treat, caramel apples are made with just three simple ingredients. Easy and delicious!

Ingredients
- 4 Granny Smith apples
- 14 ounces caramel bits or unwrapped caramel squares
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Clean the waxy coating off of apples by scrubbing them in a large bowl full of water with 2 tablespoons of vinegar or lemon juice added.
- Remove the stems and push or tap a popsicle stick into the stem end. Use a rolling pin or mallet to tap them in if they resist. Chill apples well in the refrigerator.
- Prep a baking sheet by lining it with lightly buttered parchment. Move apples to the freezer, just for the 5 minutes it takes to melt the caramel.
- Heat caramel bits and milk in a saucepan on medium-low setting until smooth and creamy, stirring consistently. Do not boil.
- Dip each apple into the hot caramel while turning to coat. Roll the coated apples in toppings if desired.
- Place apples on the prepared pan and cool completely in the refrigerator, about 2 hours.
Notes
- For Microwaving: Place caramel bits and milk in a medium bowl and microwave for approximately 4 mins, in 30 second intervals, until smooth. Stir between intervals and let caramel sit 2-3 minutes before coating apples. (We found the caramel comes out smoother and is easier to control when cooked on the stovetop.)
- Be careful not to bring the caramel to a simmer or boil, as doing so will set the candy and make your caramel too hard.
