Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray it with vegetable oil cooking spray. Insert the craft sticks halfway into the stem-ends of the apples.
- In a medium, heavy saucepan, over low heat, combine the caramel candies and orange juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the candies have melted and the mixture is smooth, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool for 2 minutes. Dip the apples in the caramel until coated and put them on the parchment paper until firm, about 2 hours.
- Put the chocolate in a medium bowl and set it over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir until the chocolate is smooth and melted. Using a fork, drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel. Put the apples back on the parchment paper for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with small candies, chopped nuts or sprinkles and allow the chocolate to harden, at room temperature, for about 3 to 4 hours.
CARAMEL AND CHOCOLATE APPLES
Steps:
- Insert lollipop sticks into core of apples.
- Heat caramel until it becomes liquid. (Can use stove top or microwave). Roll out caramel in between 2 pieces of plastic wrap to flatten. Cut caramel into long strips, about 4 inches long, to fit around apple. Wrap caramel around apple. Stand upright on waxed paper and let set for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Melt dark, white or milk chocolate. Pour melted chocolate into a metal bowl. Dip apples into chocolate. Sprinkle chocolate covered apple with nuts, M&M's or your favorite topping. You can also add stripes of dark, white or milk chocolate around the apple. Place decorated apples onto wax paper, standing upright. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Tips:
- To ensure the caramel coating is smooth and consistent, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir the mixture constantly.
- If the caramel mixture becomes too thick, add a small amount of water or cream and stir until smooth.
- Use a candy thermometer to accurately measure the temperature of the caramel mixture. This will help prevent it from overcooking or burning.
- To create a variety of flavors, try adding different spices or extracts to the caramel mixture. Some popular options include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla.
- For a fun and festive touch, decorate the caramel apples with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or drizzles of melted chocolate.
- Caramel apples can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Be sure to wrap them individually in plastic wrap or parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together.

Caramel apples are a classic fall treat that is easy to make at home. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create delicious and festive caramel apples that are sure to be a hit with family and friends. So gather your supplies and get ready to enjoy this timeless treat!
