  • Baking sheet

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash and dry the apples thoroughly, then remove the stems and insert a wooden stick into the center of each apple.
Caramel Coating
  1. Unwrap the caramel candies and place them in a microwave-safe bowl with milk, then microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and melted.
  2. Carefully dip each apple into the melted caramel, turning to coat completely, and gently scrape any excess caramel from the bottom.
Finishing Touches
  1. Immediately roll the caramel-coated apples in your desired toppings, if using, ensuring an even distribution.
  2. Place the finished caramel apples on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the caramel is firm.

Notes

For best results, use firm, crisp apples. If the caramel becomes too thick while dipping, microwave it for a few more seconds to soften. You can experiment with various toppings like crushed cookies, shredded coconut, or different types of melted chocolate.
