Instructions
- Scrub each apple under very hot running water to remove any wax coating. Dry each apple.
- Line tray or baking sheet with wax paper. Insert 1 stick into stem end of each apple.
- Microwave caramels and cream in large, microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute; stir. Microwave in additional 10- to 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each apple in melted caramel; scrape excess caramel from bottoms.
- Place each apple on the baking sheet. Chill until set, about 30 minutes.
- Heat the chocolate or candy melts in the microwave in 30 second increments until melted, stir until smooth.
- Dip each apple halfway into the chocolate, letting excess chocolate drip off. Roll each apple into selected toppings.
- Chill until apples are completely set, then serve, or store in the refrigerator covered for up to one week.
Notes
- If caramel becomes firm, return to microwave oven for 20 to 30 seconds or until dipping consistency.
