How to Make Mmmmm Caramel Apples
- Wash and dry 6 medium apples. Remove any stickers.
- 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!
- Wipe apples completely dry and insert craft sticks into the stems.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine unwrapped caramels and 2 tablespoons of water.
- Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir well. Continue microwaving in 1-minute intervals, stirring after each, until caramels are completely melted and smooth.
- Hold an apple by the stick and dip it into the melted caramel, coating it completely.
- Place the caramel-covered apple onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat steps 7 and 8 with the remaining apples.
- Refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the caramel to set.
- 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.
- Once the caramel is set, dip each apple into the melted chocolate, covering the caramel layer.
- Place the chocolate-covered apples back onto the baking sheet.
- While the chocolate is still wet, immediately roll the apples in your favorite toppings (sprinkles, nuts, etc.).
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
