Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (about 56) Kraft caramels
- 2 tablespoons water
- 6 medium-sized Granny Smith apples
- Chopped Walnuts
- 6 wooden skewers or popcicle sticks
Instructions
- Place the caramels and water in a double boiler over simmering water. Melt slowly, stirring occasionally, until the mixture becomes smooth and silky.
- Insert a wooden skewer firmly into the stem end of each apple, pushing it about halfway through.
- Dip each apple into the warm caramel, turning slowly to coat completely. Allow any excess caramel to drip back into the pot.
- If the caramel begins to thicken and becomes difficult to spread, stir in a few drops of water to thin it back to dipping consistency.
- While the caramel is still warm and tacky, roll the bottom half of each apple in the chopped walnuts, pressing gently so they adhere.
- Place the finished apples on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper, leaving space between each one. Refrigerate until the caramel coating sets and becomes firm, about 30 minutes.
