Caramel Apples
Serves 6
6 medium sized Apples
16 oz. Caramels
2 Tbsp. Water
1/2 cup Peanuts or Walnuts, chopped (optional)
6 Popsicle Sticks
Place caramels and water into a microwave safe bowl. Melt
caramels with water in a medium sized saucepan over medium low heat,
stirring constantly, until the caramels are completely melted. Insert
sticks into the stem end of the apples approximately 3/4 of the way
through the apple. While holding onto the popsicle stick, dip the
apples into the caramel until completely covered. You may have to spoon
the caramel to get it all the way onto the top of the apple. Allow the
excess caramel to drip from the apple over the bowl. Using a knife,
scrape the caramel from the bottom of the apple. Set the apples onto a
plate covered with a piece of wax paper that has been greased with
butter. This will ensure that they apples don't stick. Sprinkle with
chopped peanuts, optional. Refrigerate for at least one hour or until
ready to serve.
Store in the refrigerator.
