Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Granny Smith apples
- 300 grams Caramel candies
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 200 grams Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Toppings (crushed nuts, sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, etc.)
- 6 pieces Wooden sticks
- 1 sheet Parchment paper
Instructions
Wash and dry the apples thoroughly to remove any wax. Insert a wooden stick securely into the top of each apple.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the caramel is melted and smooth.
Dip each apple into the melted caramel, rotating to coat evenly. Let the excess drip off before placing the apple on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat for all apples and let the caramel set, about 10-15 minutes.
While the caramel is setting, melt the chocolate chips with the butter in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water or in the microwave in short intervals, stirring frequently until smooth.
Once the caramel has set, dip each caramel-coated apple into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Return the apples to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Immediately decorate the chocolate layer with your choice of toppings (e.g., crushed nuts, sprinkles, or mini chocolate chips) by sprinkling them over the wet chocolate.
Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature or refrigerate for faster results.
Once the chocolate is fully hardened, serve and enjoy your Chocolate Caramel Apples!
