Gourmet Caramel Apples
    Ingredients
  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 6 cupcake liners
  • 1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 6 apples, washed and chilled
    Directions
  • Wash, dry and chill apples; remove stems from apples and press craft stick into top. Spray cupcake liners with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. Place unwrapped caramels and milk in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 1 minute increments, stirring well after each, until caramels are completely melted and smooth (about 3 to 4 minutes). Dip each apple in melted caramel, coating apples completely. Scrape excess caramel from bottom of apple and rotate evenly to distribute and allow excess caramel to drip off. Once apple is well coated, place in sprayed cupcake liner and allow to set up in refrigerator. Keep refrigerated as long as possible before serving. DOUBLE DUNKED - Dip apple in your choice of milk, white or dark chocolate coating. TRIPLE CHOCOLATE - Dip apple in white, milk and dark chocolate coatings, allowing the chocolate to harden between dippings. SMORES - Dip apple in milk chocolate coating then stud with mini marshmallows and graham cracker pieces. To help marshmallows and graham pieces adhere better, drizzle with chocolate after adding other ingredients. TURTLES - Dip apple in caramel a second time, and while caramel is still soft, roll on chopped pecans. Drizzle with melted milk chocolate coating and sprinkle with more pecans. COLORED CONFETTI - Dip apple in white chocolate coating then sprinkle with colored sprinkles. CHOCOLATE CONFETTI- Dip apple in milk chocolate coating then sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles. M&M's - Dip apple in milk chocolate coating and stud with whole or crushed M&M candies. This also works well with Reese's Pieces if you prefer peanut butter candy. PEANUT BUTTER CHIP - Dip apple in milk chocolate coating then stud with peanut butter chips. If you are a true peanut butter lover, spread apple with peanut butter before dipping in chocolate. COOKIES & CREAM - Drizzle apple with white chocolate coating then stud with crushed Oreo cookies. Drizzle with milk chocolate coating. AUTUMN DELIGHT - Dip apple in white chocolate coating then stud with dried cranberries and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
