I recently made this for an office party & got great reviews, everyone loved it. I did make a couple of small changes though. I used 2 cloves of galic instead of adding garlic salt, mixed the mozzarella into the dip instead of putting it on top & added about 1/2 cup of crabmeat as well. This was an excellent recipe, I will definately be making this one again & again!

I converted the recipe to make 16 apples & found that by adding only about 1/2 the water called for to the chewy caramel candies really seemed to help. The toppings still began to slide towards the bottom of the apple but not nearly so much as it appears to have done for others using this recipe. I also found that by only doing a few at a time & then putting them immediately into the fridge seemed to help the caramel & toppings hold their place. As for the chocolate drizzle, I melted semisweet chocolate chips with a bit of whole milk to thin out the chocolate slightly & waited for it to cool a little. Then I put it into a thick ziploc freezer bag, snipped a tiny hole in the corner & piped it back & forth after the rolled apples had already chilled in the fridge. I was able to take these to work & got a number of rave reviews, everybody seemed to really enjoy them & it was a great project for my young son to help with.

With the ketchup, pineapple & brown sugar, this was very much like a sweet and sour meatloaf. I also added half a chopped onion, some fresh garlic & some diced bell peppers. My family enjoyed it very much, I will definately make it again - however, like others, I would say it wasn't quite enough for 8 servings unles they were quite small. I doubled the recipe & found that made enough for our family of 4 to have seconds.
