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.
4 fresh apples
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.
11 ounce caramel bits or melts,
2 Tablespoons water
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.
Optional toppings such as sparkling sugar
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.
