Recipe View Coat the apples: Working quickly, dip each apple into the warm caramel, rotating to ensure it's evenly coated. Lift the apple and allow any excess caramel to drip off. If desired, immediately roll the caramel-coated apple in your choice of toppings (nuts, sprinkles, etc.). (10 minutes)

Recipe View Serve and enjoy: Remove the caramel apples from the refrigerator about 10 minutes before serving. This allows the caramel to soften slightly for easier eating. (10 minutes)

For the best flavor, use high-quality caramels and fresh, crisp apples.
If the caramel becomes too thick during the dipping process, microwave it in 15-second intervals, stirring well, to restore its smooth consistency.
To prevent the apples from slipping off the sticks, make sure the sticks are inserted deeply and securely.
Experiment with different toppings to create your own signature caramel apple variations.

    I added a pinch of sea salt to the caramel, and it really enhanced the flavor. Delicious!

  • Otto Herzog

    Definitely use good quality caramels. It makes a huge difference in the final taste.

  • Foster Thiel

    My kids loved helping me make these. They were a big hit at our fall festival.

  • Lily Hills

    I used Granny Smith apples, and the tartness was a great contrast to the sweet caramel.

  • Rudolph Jenkins

    The refrigeration time is key! It really helps the caramel set and prevents it from being too sticky.

  • Britney Keebler

    Instead of microwaving, I melted the caramels in a double boiler. It took a little longer, but it was worth it for the smoother texture.

  • Jan Watsica

    I tried adding a tablespoon of butter to the caramel for extra richness, and it was amazing!

  • Susanna Homenick

    This recipe was so easy to follow, and the caramel apples turned out perfectly! The heavy cream made the caramel extra smooth.
