Must eat for Fall foods. Am I right?
Saw a picture of caramel apples today. Made my mouth water as a memory came up in my mind of helping my mother make them years ago. Oh how I love those memories. Being with my mom in the kitchen A LOT taught me to love cooking and to lovemaking my family happy with special dishes of delectable food.
Stopped at the store today and picked up these Honey Crisp apples along with some caramels. These literally took about 10 minutes to make and boy are they did they make a nice dessert.
Maybe a memory will pop into your head as it did mine as you bite into one of these juicy, sweet, messy and oh so delicious treats.
Caramel Apples
Ingredients
- 1 14 oz package of soft caramels
- 2 T milk
- 6 medium sized apples. I like Honey Crisp and Jonagold
- 10 oz finely chopped nuts optional
Instructions
- Wash and dry apples. Stick a wooden craft stick in each one. If you don't have wooden craft sticks, forks or knives work just fine.Place apples on parchment paper on a cookie sheet in the refrigerator or freezer while preparing the caramel. Unwrap each caramel and place in a bowl small bowl or 4 C measuring cup. Add milk. Microwave for 1 minute. Take out and give a stir. Microwave for another minute. Take out and stir well, until all caramel is melted. Bring out the apples and dunk each one into the caramel sauce. Turn and twist, getting as much coated as possible. Roll into chopped nuts if desired.
Happy Fall!
