#664 - Microwave Caramel Apples

(by Shirley McNevich)

4 or 5 medium sized apples
wooden popsicle sticks for each apple
1 - 14oz. bag Kraft caramels
2 TBSP water

Wash and dry the apples. Insert a popsicle stick into the stem end of each apple. Microwave the caramels and the water (use a deep microwave safe bowl)--microwave on high between 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 minutes (stir after each minute) until caramel is smooth. If the caramel is too thin, let it stand 2 minutes before coating apples. Dip apples into hot caramel and turn until whole apple is coated. Scrape the extra caramel from the bottom of the apples. Place each apple on greased wax paper. When cooled, store them in refrigerator. When eating them from the refrigerator, let them sit on the counter for 15 minutes to soften the caramel before eating.

This is what I have been looking for, now the grandkids and I are making carmel apple this weekend. I know some people dip the bottoms in peanuts, but I think we are going to use crunched up chico stick candy.
