Make Caramel Apples
Do you have a ton of apples around your house from apple picking like I do? Make caramel apples with your kids, they taste better then store bought and it is a fun thing to do with kids. Here is what you need and how to do it:
Ingredients:
4 very firm apples
2 tablespoons water
bag of caramels
4 popsicle sticks
Instructions:
-Remove stems of apples and push sticks into the apple where the stem used to be.
-Put caramels and water in a bowl and microwave at 30 second intervals until melted. Stir occasionally.
-When caramels are all melted, dip apples into the mixture and twist letting the extra caramel fall back into the bowl
-Place on greased baking sheet and cool in refrigerator for 20 minutes.
*you can also dip apples into toppings like coconut, chocolate chips, nuts or crushed candy bars. Just roll warm caramel apples in topping then place in baking sheet to cool.
I may just do this with my kids today!
