How to Make Caramel Apples

These delicious candied apples are a favorite in our house and never taste better than when you make them yourself. My kids love to make caramel apples as much as they love to eat them, so I always make them when they're at home and can help.

You will need:

• 6 Granny Smith Apples (You can also use Gala or any firm, tart apple)
• 6 Popsicle sticks - Craft sticks work fine in case they don't already come with the caramel.
• 1 bag (14oz.) individual Kraft Caramels, unwrapped
• 2 Tbsp. water
• 1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract

How to Put it all Together:
1. Cover a cookie sheet with a sheet of waxed paper. You can used lightly greased foil but I think waxed paper works best.
2. Wash and dry the apples, then poke a stick into the stem end of each one.
3. In a saucepan, mix the caramels and water. Melt over low heat stirring often to prevent bubbling. Melt until smooth.
4. Stir in Vanilla Extract.
5. One at a time, dip each apple into the caramel. Let the excess drip back into the pan. Scrape extra off the bottom with a knife then place on the cookie sheet.
6. Chill for at least 20 minutes before serving.

Make Caramel Apples Even Yummier

Once covered in caramel you can roll your apples in:

• Chopped Peanuts
• Mini Chocolate Chips
• Mini M&M's

You can also drizzle these fantastic apples with melted chocolate.
