Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Granny Smith apples
- 400 grams Caramel candies
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 200 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., peanuts, walnuts, or pecans)
- 6 pieces Lollipop sticks or sturdy skewers
- 1 sheet Parchment paper
Instructions
Wash and dry the apples thoroughly to remove any wax coating. Insert a lollipop stick firmly into the top of each apple, ensuring it is secure.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the caramel candies with the heavy cream over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Dip each apple into the melted caramel, swirling to coat the entire apple evenly. Allow any excess caramel to drip back into the saucepan.
Place the coated apples on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet and allow the caramel to set for about 10 minutes.
While the caramel sets, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second increments, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Dip each caramel-coated apple into the melted chocolate, swirling to cover the caramel layer fully or partially, depending on your preference.
Immediately sprinkle or roll the chocolate-dipped apples in the chopped nuts, pressing gently to help the nuts adhere.
Return the apples to the parchment-lined baking sheet and allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for quicker results.
Once fully set, serve and enjoy your Chocolate Covered Caramel Apples with Nuts!
