Week One: Recipe Thirteen

Caramel Apples

Ingredients

• 8 green apples & 8 popsicle sticks
• 50 pieces of chewy caramel candy
• chopped nuts
• chopped m&ms
• wax paper
• cooking spray

Spray the wax paper with cooking spray to keep the apples from sticking.

Remove the stem from each apple and put a popsicle stick inside the apple from where the stem was.

Melt the caramel candies until all the way melted in a deep pot.

When melted take off the heat and begin dipping the apples (hint: do not let the apples touch the edge of the pot and make sure to spin the apple side ways while dipped in the caramel).

Let excess caramel drip off and immediately roll in nuts or m&ms for decoration.

Place on the wax paper to cool.

Repeat for each apple or until melted caramel sauce is gone.

I would also recommend putting them in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes to make sure the caramel is all the way cooled so it doesn't melt off of the apple. DO NOT LEAVE IN THE FREEZER.

These would have been a tasty halloween treat... but we forgot about them in the freezer and the apples froze all the way. This results in a mushy de-thawed apple. We ended up just throwing them away. BUT! They were fun to make and they looked pretty :)
