How to Make Mmmmm Caramel Apples

  1. Wash and dry 6 medium apples. Remove any stickers.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Dip apples briefly (about 5-10 seconds each) in the boiling water to remove wax. Use a slotted spoon and be careful!
  3. Wipe apples completely dry and insert craft sticks into the stems.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine unwrapped caramels and 2 tablespoons of water.
  6. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir well. Continue microwaving in 1-minute intervals, stirring after each, until caramels are completely melted and smooth.
  7. Hold an apple by the stick and dip it into the melted caramel, coating it completely.
  8. Place the caramel-covered apple onto the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 with the remaining apples.
  10. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the caramel to set.
  11. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of shortening. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth and melted.
  12. Once the caramel is set, dip each apple into the melted chocolate, covering the caramel layer.
  13. Place the chocolate-covered apples back onto the baking sheet.
  14. While the chocolate is still wet, immediately roll the apples in your favorite toppings (sprinkles, nuts, etc.).
  15. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
