Easy Recipe: Caramel Apples
Ok ya’ll. Can I make a confession? I have never in my life made a real caramel apple. I have eaten a lot of caramel apples, but I have never ever in my whole life made a real one. So, I set out to do just that and let me tell you. Why did I wait so stinkin’ long? These were so very easy and a huge hit at my home {the kids devoured them and they were a hit at the neighborhood party!} And, better yet, they take all of 10 minutes or so to make!
Here’s how to look like a superstar with this Easy Recipe for Caramel Apples {They’ll think you spent hours slaving away 😉 }
Wash and dry your apples. They need to be dry, so be sure to dry them well and let them sit for a minute. Then, push a wooden craft stick into the top of each apple after removing the stem. I got these cute colored wooden craft sticks, in fact one hundred of them at Dollar Tree for a buck. {sweet!}
Gather your ingredients – Ha! Who knew this was the secret!
Melt all three ingredients together. Ok, I said 3 ingredients, but water doesn’t count, right?!
Dip your apples into the pan coating the side of the apple. You’ll have to tilt your apple and you’ll want to use a smaller pan so the apple can get all caramelized. 🙂
Butter a piece of wax paper and set your apples on the wax paper when you’re finished. Put your apples into the fridge to set. You will want to make sure that your wax paper is set on top of a flat surface like a cutting board so it can be transferred to the fridge easily.
