Caramel Apples

Way before I had a blog, I was already taking pictures of our culinary adventures, and posting them on Facebook.  I have alot of recipes, and pictures over there, so I will slowly be adding them on to here. We made these caramel apples last year, for Halloween. Truth be told they were on my to-do list this year, but I never got my hands on some caramels.  These were fantastic, and alot of fun to do with my kiddos.













Caramel Apples

  • 6 medium apples
  • Wooden craft sticks
  • Kraft Caramels (14 ounce package)
  • Pot or Pan
  • Waxed paper
  1. Prepare the apples. Wash the apples in water and dry them thoroughly. Insert a wooden craft stick in the top of each apple to serve as a handle while eating. Cover a cookie sheet or plate with waxed paper.
  2. Unwrap the caramel pieces and put them in a pot. Add two Tablespoons of water to the caramels and melt them on a medium to low heat. Stir the melting caramels constantly with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Lower the heat if you detect scorching in the bottom of the pot. Continue stirring until the caramels are completely melted then turn off the heat. (I used my crockpot on a low setting, and I think you could also use the microwave)
  3. Dip the apple in the melted caramel. It may be necessary to spoon caramel on the apple to cover it if the melted caramel is not deep enough. Hold the coated apple over the pot until the excess caramel drips off. Use a knife to scrape excess caramel off the bottom of the apple before placing it on the waxed paper. Place the caramel apples in the refrigerator for an hour. Fifteen minutes before serving, let the apples warm to room temperature.
  4. Add your favorite extra goodies to the caramel apple by rolling the bottom of the apple in chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, crushed cookies or graham crackers.

  2. Olá, já acompanho o teu blog há algum tempo e embora nunca comente gosto muito das tuas receitas.
    Gostei muito desta sugestão, acho que a minha filhota ia adorar. Os caramelos são aqueles de compra tradicionais portugueses (alguns são bem duros)?
    Beijinhos e keep up the good work.
