Nutted Chocolate-Caramel Apples

By Carroll Pellegrinelli, About.com

There's nothing like a caramel apple dipped in chocolate and rolled in nuts. Yummy!

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 6 wooden popsicle sticks
  • 6 medium apples, rinsed and dried
  • 1-14 ounce package caramels, unwrapped
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1-1/2 pound package dark-chocolate candy coating
  • 1/2 to 1 cup lightly toasted chopped nuts or coconut

Preparation:

Insert popsicle stick into stem end of each apple; set aside. Either melt caramels in water over medium-low heat on the stove or in the microwave using package directions. Dip apples in caramel mixture. Drain excess caramel and place upright on waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Place in refrigerator until set.

Once caramel apples are set, melt chocolate candy coating according to package directions. Dip set caramel apples completely in chocolate. Allow excess to drain. Place on wax paper. Sprinkle with chopped nuts or coconut.
