Caramel Apples

Happy Halloween!  These apples are just perfect for today.  They are super easy and quick to make.  Of course, dipping them in caramel is just the basic stuff.  You can roll them in chopped nuts, sprinkles, or whatever your heart desires.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

-4 tart apples, such as Granny Smith

-9 oz caramel candies

-1 Tbs water

-1 tsp vanilla extract

-non-stick cooking spray

-candy sticks or craft sticks

Directions:

Scrub apples in hot tap water.  The wax needs to be removed in order for the caramel to stick, so you need to scrub them.  The hot water works best in removing it.  Dry apples and place in the fridge while making the coating.

Coat a piece of wax paper with a little cooking spray and set aside.

In a small sauce pan, melt caramel candies with the water.  When nice and smooth, add the vanilla.

Insert sticks into apples and roll immediately through caramel.  If you want other toppings, roll the apples into that as well.  Set on prepared wax paper.  Enjoy!
