- One by one, dip each apple into the caramel and let the excess drip off back into the bowl. Before placing it back on the baking sheet, wipe off the caramel from the bottom of the apple with a spatula, this will prevent the caramel from puddling as it is setting.
Instructions for additional toppings
- adding chocolate: After the caramel has set, microwave 1 bag of white chocolate chips for about 1-2 mins until melted and smooth. Carefully remove it from the microwave and let it cool slightly before dipping your apples so the caramel won’t start melting off. One by one dip each caramel apple into the chocolate halfway and let the excess drip back into the bowl. Dip into a bowl of other toppings (if desired) before placing back onto the baking sheet to set.

Notes
Choose fresh tart apples, the caramel and extra toppings are very sweet and a tart apple will help balance out the sweetness. [br][br]It’s best to leave these unpackaged in the fridge but if they are packaged don’t store them in the fridge because they will start to sweat. [br][br]Caramel apples can be made up to 2-3 days in advance
