Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Remove the stems and insert a wooden stick or skewer into the top of each apple, ensuring it is secured firmly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking oil or butter to prevent sticking.
In a medium saucepan, melt the caramel candies over low heat, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Once smooth, stir in the heavy cream to achieve a silky consistency.
Dip each apple into the melted caramel, swirling to coat it completely. Allow any excess caramel to drip off before placing the apple onto the prepared baking sheet.
Before the caramel sets, sprinkle Halloween-themed sprinkles onto the caramel coating for a festive touch.
If using chocolate, melt the dark or white chocolate chips in separate bowls using a microwave or double boiler. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the apples for an added decorative layer.
Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the caramel for a salted caramel flavor.
Allow the apples to set completely at room temperature (approximately 30 minutes) or in the refrigerator if you prefer faster results.
Serve and enjoy your spooky, delicious Halloween Caramel Apples!
