A fun and tasty treat perfect for fall, these caramel apples are easy to make and a hit with both kids and adults alike. Crisp apples are coated in rich, buttery caramel for a delightful dessert or snack.
Directions
Step 1
Wash and thoroughly dry the apples. Insert a wooden stick into the stem end of each apple.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the caramel candies, heavy cream, and butter. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the caramel is completely melted and smooth.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
Dip each apple into the melted caramel, turning to coat evenly. Allow the excess caramel to drip off before placing the apple on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 5
Let the caramel apples cool at room temperature until the caramel is set, about 30 minutes.
