Caramel Apples
Homemade Caramel Apples are a fun fall treat that the whole family will love! Granny Smith apples are dipped into gooey caramel then rolled in toffee bits and drizzled with chocolate or your other favorite toppings!
Servings: 6 apples
Ingredients
- 6 Apples Granny Smith is usually the preferred apple
- 22 ounces Caramel Bits I used 2 11 oz. bags of ‘Krafts Caramel Bits’ as this saves time on unwrapping individual caramels.
- 10 ounces White chocolate I used the 10 oz. Ghirardelli white vanilla flavored melting wafers – Ghirardelli seems to be one of the better melting chocolates that I have found.
- 10 ounces Dark chocolate I used the 10 oz. Ghirardelli dark chocolate flavored melting wafers.
- 8 ounces Toffee I used the Heath’s 8 oz. English Toffee Bits
- Wooden Apple Sticks These are generally available in the craft store or grocery store.
Instructions
- Dip the apples in hot water and rub off the shiny wax layer. This will enable the caramel to better coat the apple.
- Place the sticks into the top of the apples.
- Melt the caramel in a double broiler or in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds at a time, mixing between, until the caramel is fully melted.
- Coat the apples in the melted caramel.
- Prepare a bowl of toffee. Coat the bottom of the apples in the toffee.
- Place the apples on wax paper and put in the refrigerator to cool for a few minutes.
- Melt the chocolate of your choice in a double broiler or in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds at a time, mixing between, until the chocolate is fully melted.
- Drizzle chocolate on the apples and allow them to chill for approximately 30 minutes.
