Caramel Apples

Happy Halloween!!!  Hope all you boils and ghouls are planning on having a wonderful time Trick or Treating tonight!  I know we are, despite the rainy weather!

My kiddos and I decided to make some caramel apples for Halloween last night.  I know they're easy and it's barely a recipe, but hey, I'm sharing anyway!  So here ya go...some Caramel Apples....

Ingredients:

- 1 3lb bag of Red Delicious Apples, washed and dried
- 2 bags of Caramels
- 4 Tablespoons Milk (not pictured)
- Candy sticks

Directions:

1.  After washing and drying your apples, grab two cute assistants to help you in the kitchen.  One can peel your caramels and the other can de-stem your apples.  Free labor! ;-)



*Becky's having a hard time de-stemming that apple, lol!  Oh...and ignore the messy play area/hubby's workout area in the background! ;-)

2.  Now take your apples and stick the candy stick into the stem part of you apple.  Place on the table for caramelization in a few minutes.  You may have a "drunk apple" that refuses to stand up...that's okay!  It'll still taste good!


3.  Place some parchment paper onto a sheet tray and then pour your caramels into a microwave safe, large bowl.  Toss in your milk and then microwave for about 2-3 minutes stirring every minute until your caramels are melted completely. 



4.  Working quickly, dip your apples into the caramel, swirling around until covered.  Place the caramel covered apple onto the sheet pan covered with parchment paper and continue until all your apples are done or until you run out of caramel (we ran out...with a couple apples left...no worries though!  Into the fruit bowl they went....)


5.  Allow the caramel to set for a bit and then enjoy!  Here's the final product.....

So oohy-gooey good!  Try this one out tonight or anytime!  And again....


HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
