Tips:

  • For the best caramel, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and cook the sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly. This will help prevent the sugar from burning.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the caramel by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the caramel forms a hard ball, it is ready.
  • To make the caramel apples, simply dip the apple slices into the caramel and then roll them in your favorite toppings. You can use nuts, chopped candy, or even sprinkles.
  • For the nacho platter, arrange the caramel apples on a serving platter and drizzle with melted chocolate and caramel sauce. You can also add whipped cream, ice cream, or even a scoop of your favorite ice cream topping.
