Instructions
First, wash, slice, and allow apple slices to dry. You'll want to make sure your apple slices are thick enough for a stick to be inserted in to the sides, without pushing through the white part of the apple.
Next, insert a stick in to the center side of each apple slice
If using caramel bits, simply follow the instructions on the bag for melting the caramel. You will more than likely need to add water to these as well. I microwaved ours for 1 minute, stirred, and then microwaved one more time and then were melted.
When the caramel has melted, the apples are ready for dipping! Simply grab an apple slice that's on a stick, and dip in the bowl of caramel, making sure at least one side is covered. (Or both sides of the apple if you prefer!)
Lift up the apple above the bowl, and allow the excess to drip off, before placing on wax paper.
Once dipped, place on a sheet of wax paper. Shortly after, start adding your favorite toppings.
Allow caramel apple slices to dry for about 15 minutes, and enjoy!!
Notes
We recommend storing any leftover apples in the refrigerator, in a single layer. Leaving them out at room temperature will cause the apples to turn brown, and the caramel will begin to thin out and spread out.
