Delicious caramel apples recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 firm apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 14 ounces caramel candies
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • Chopped nuts (optional, like peanuts or almonds)
  • Chocolate chips (optional)
  • Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the apples thoroughly.
  2. Insert wooden sticks into the center of each apple for easy dipping.
  3. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine about 14 ounces of unwrapped caramel candies with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream.
  4. Stir continuously until smooth and melted, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Hold each apple by its stick and dip it into the warm caramel.
  6. Rotate the apple gently to ensure an even coating.
  7. Let any excess drip off before placing the apple on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Sprinkle nuts or sprinkles over the still-warm caramel on each apple before it sets, if using.
  9. Melt some chocolate chips in another bowl and drizzle over the apples as an extra layer of decadence, if desired.
  10. Allow the dipped apples to cool at room temperature until the caramel is set, which should take about 30 minutes.
  11. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or serve on a decorative platter before serving.

Notes

Store caramel apples in cool, dry place.

Reheat caramel gently in microwave.

Serve with chopped nuts or sprinkles.
