amazing caramel apples


i'm obsessed with caramel apples...obsessed.  and since i got some really beautiful granny smith apples via farm fresh to you, i decided to make some yummy caramel apples!  this recipe is soooooooo easy to make...and the apples are fun to decorate for halloween or to share with friends and family during the holidays.  please enjoy!


ingredients:
- 4 apples (i like to use granny smith apples)
- 14 ounce bag of caramel, unwrapped
- 2 tablespoons vanilla ice cream (or 2 tablespoons of milk)
- 4 wooden sticks (i like to use chopsticks hahaha!)
- toppings...chocolate shavings, pecans, almonds, tj's sugar chocolate coffee bean grinder (which i LOVE!)

directions:
- in a large bowl, microwave the unwrapped caramel pieces and vanilla ice cream for 2 minutes
- meanwhile, either butter a baking sheet or dust it with a coat of sugar 
- remove the stems from the apples and push the wooden sticks through the top until secure
- once the caramel is melted, mix carefully
- coat one apple at a time with generous amounts of caramel; set on prepared baking sheet
- add toppings by either rolling or patting down...enjoy!

xoxo,
kara
