Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 6 apples (orchard picked, wax-free)
Caramel Coating
- 11 oz package of caramels
- 1 tbsp water
Toppings
- 1 cup walnuts (crushed)
- 1 cup white melting chocolate
- Candy sprinkles (for decoration)
Instructions
- Chill Apples: Wash the apples thoroughly and place them in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. Chilling the apples helps the caramel and chocolate coatings stick better for a smooth finished treat.
- Melt Caramel: In a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop in a saucepan, melt the caramels along with 1 tablespoon of water. Stir until the caramel is smooth and fluid for easy dipping.
- Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate in the microwave or using a candy melter until smooth and ready for drizzling.
- Prepare Tray: Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking tray to catch drips and to set the coated apples on.
- Insert Candy Sticks: Insert a candy stick firmly into the top center of each chilled apple to serve as a handle for dipping and eating.
- Dip Apples in Caramel: Carefully dip each apple into the melted caramel to fully coat it, letting excess drip off.
- Roll in Walnuts: Immediately roll or sprinkle the caramel-coated apples with crushed walnuts so they adhere while the caramel is still tacky.
- Drizzle with White Chocolate: Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the walnuts-coated apples to add a beautiful and tasty decoration.
- Add Sprinkles: Top the apples with candy sprinkles for added color and festive appeal.
- Set the Coatings: Place the tray of decorated apples in the refrigerator for the caramel and chocolate to fully set and harden.
- Decorate Sticks: Snip the candy straws to the desired length and place them over the candy sticks as a decorative touch before serving.
