Here's a delicious and easy recipe for Caramel Apple Bites!
Ingredients:
3 large apples (any variety you like)
1 bag of caramel candies or 1 cup caramel bits
2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
Optional toppings: chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, crushed graham crackers, or sprinkles
Toothpicks or small skewers
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Apples: Wash and dry the apples. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, discarding the seeds and core. Pat the apple pieces dry with a paper towel, as the caramel will stick better to dry apples.
2. Insert Toothpicks: Insert a toothpick or skewer into each apple piece for easy dipping.
3. Melt the Caramel: In a microwave-safe bowl, add the caramel candies and milk or cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the caramel is smooth and melted.
4. Dip the Apples: Dip each apple bite into the melted caramel, letting any excess drip off. If you’re adding toppings, immediately dip the caramel-coated apple into the desired topping.
5. Chill: Place the caramel-coated apple bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 15 minutes, or until the caramel sets.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange on a plate and enjoy your Caramel Apple Bites!
Tips:
Make sure apples are dry so caramel sticks.
Serve within a few hours, as apples may release moisture over time.
Enjoy your tasty treats!
