Caramel apple recipe

Caramel Caramel apples are a classic treat, especially popular in the fall. Here's a simple recipe to make them at home: ### Ingredients: - 6-8 apples (any variety you prefer) - 1 package (about 14 ounces) of caramel candies - 2 tablespoons of milk or cream - Optional toppings like chopped nuts, sprinkles, or chocolate chips - Wooden sticks or skewers for dipping ### Instructions: 1. **Prepare the Apples:** Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Remove the stems and insert a wooden stick or skewer into the top of each apple, where the stem was. 2. **Prepare the Caramel:** Unwrap the caramel candies and place them in a medium saucepan with the milk or cream. Heat over low to medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the caramel is melted and smooth. Be careful not to let it burn. 3. **Dip the Apples:** Dip each apple into the melted caramel, using a spoon to help coat the apple evenly. Allow any excess caramel to drip off before placing the apple on a parchment-lined baking sheet. 4. **Add Toppings (Optional):** If desired, roll the caramel-coated apples in chopped nuts, sprinkles, chocolate chips, or any other toppings you like before the caramel sets. 5. **Set and Serve:** Place the caramel apples in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the caramel to set completely. Once set, they are ready to enjoy!
