Easy Caramel Apples
Easy caramel apples made with Kraft caramel bits, vanilla, and Granny Smith apples.
Ingredients
- 1 package Kraft Caramel Bits 11 ounces
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons water or as directed on caramel package
- 6 Granny Smith apples
- Craft sticks or popsicle sticks
- Optional toppings such as nuts sprinkles, or mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Wash and dry apples very well. Remove stems and insert sticks.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
- Melt caramel bits with water over low heat, stirring until smooth.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
- Dip each apple into the caramel, turning to coat. Let excess drip back into the pan.
- Add toppings while caramel is still sticky if using.
- Place apples on prepared pan and refrigerate until set.
Notes
Make sure apples are dry and at room temperature before dipping or the caramel can slide off. If caramel gets too thick, warm it gently and stir in a tiny splash of warm water. Refrigerate finished apples and serve within a week. Do not freeze because the apple texture suffers.
