Create delicious fair-style caramel apples at home with this easy-to-follow recipe. Perfect for a fun fall activity with family and friends.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6-8 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji)
  • 6 ounces caramel candies, unwrapped
  • 2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Optional toppings: chopped nuts, sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, crushed cookies

Instructions

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry the apples. Insert popsicle sticks or sturdy skewers into the stem end of each apple.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine caramel candies, milk or cream, and butter.
  3. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir well. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the caramel is smooth and melted.
  4. Dip each apple into the melted caramel, tilting the bowl to coat evenly. Let excess caramel drip back into the bowl.
  5. If using toppings, sprinkle them over the caramel immediately after dipping.
  6. Place the caramel apples on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Let the caramel set completely at room temperature, or refrigerate for faster setting.

Notes

  • Ensure apples are completely dry for the caramel to adhere properly.
  • Stir the caramel frequently to prevent scorching.
  • If the caramel becomes too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or cream at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Have your toppings ready before you start dipping.
