To put an extra "zest" after I dipped it in caramel I waited until it was "dry" and dipped it halfway in white chocolate then dipped it in nuts right after the white chocolate

Very easy to do, first time making caramel apples and they turned out great - I posted a photo of mine where I covered them in crushed peanuts, mini M&M's, Skor bar pieces and sliced almonds - And then I drizzled them with white and milk chocolate (chips melted in a waterbath) - Sold them at work for a charity fundraiser and 6 were sold before I got them to the table :) Also used Honeycrisp apples along with the usual Granny Smith apples - Good for Halloween and any fundraiser :)

What a great and simple recipe for a simple treat! I used Kraft Caramel Bits instead of the regular candy squares and I melted them on the stove instead of the microwave. Maybe I should have done that because the bits never melted all the way and I ended up with several "clots" of caramel. Other than that, the caramel stuck very nicely and didn't slide very much at all. Next time I'm going to melt some chocolate chips and drizzle some of that over the caramel. Yum!!! Oh and I actually used Macintosh apples because I like them better. I save Granny's for the pies! I also used parchment paper instead of waxed paper. You have to remember to eat these up in a couple of days. Otherwise, if they sit around too long the caramel begins to granulate right on the apples!

wonderfully simple recipe. I used small granny smith apples and was able to make 12. I used wax paper to line my pan with instead of the foil. I will make these again!

We loved these. Be sure to remove the wax from the apple so the caramel will stick better. I put graham crackers, oreo cookies, nuts, and peanuts in the food processor--separately-- and rolled the caramelized apple in it.We also crushed some candy bars for a coating.(snickers and Butterfingers) Drizzled melted chocolate around the stick and top half of the apple.. YUM! After they cooled, I put them in cellophane party bags from the dollar store. Adding curly ribbon gave them a festive look. We loved making these.

I love caramel apples, and buying the name brand caramels makes such a difference! We dip our bottoms in sugar or nuts or chocolate chips to help keep them from sticking before we place them on the wax paper..

This is a great recipe! I made these with my two kids who are 8 and 6. At first I thought it would be too messy and hard, but I was wrong! These directions were very easy to follow. The apples tasted great with the caramel not gooey. My kids ate 2 each in less than 30 minutes! And my 8 year old has braces, making it hard to eat this kind of tasty treat!
