Ingredients
- 4 fresh apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp
- 11 ounce caramel bits or melts 1 bag
- 2 Tablespoons water
- Optional toppings such as sparkling sugar brown sugar, sprinkles, chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet or cutting board that fits in your refrigerator with wax paper or parchment.
- Using a metal teaspoon or melon baller, scoop out teaspoon round balls out of the apple.
- Insert the candy sticks or toothpicks in the top and blot with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Set aside on the prepared tray.
- Put the caramel bits and water in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Pick up each apple ball and blot it dry again. Dip it into the saucepan allowing the access to drip off. Dip in toppings if desired.
- Place on a prepared plate or cutting board and put in the refrigerator to set until you are ready to serve.

Notes
- These are ready to eat in about 10 minutes. After a few hours the caramel will likely start to slide off, so eat them soon after making.
- Use cold apples.
- Blot off any extra moisture you can before dipping. I suggest blotting twice, once when you scoop them out and again right before dipping.
- Keep the caramel on very low heat as you dip.
- Put them in the refrigerator right after dipping them.
- Aim for fun, not perfection.
