Provided by My Food and Family

Categories     Recipes

Time 1h40m

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 apples (1-1/2 lb.), well chilled
1 pkg. (11 oz.) KRAFT Caramels
1 Tbsp. water
1-1/2 cups BAKER'S ANGEL FLAKE Coconut, toasted
2 oz. BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate

Steps:

  • Wash apples, then dry completely. (Note: In order for the caramel sauce to stick to the apples, the apples need to be well chilled before washing, drying and dipping in the caramel sauce.)
  • Insert wooden pop stick into stem end of each apple. Microwave caramels and water in large glass microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 to 2-1/2 min. or until caramels are completely melted and mixture is well blended when stirred.
  • Cover large plate with parchment; spray with cooking spray. Dip apples, 1 at a time, into caramel sauce, turning to evenly coat each apple. Hold dipped apple over bowl to let excess caramel drip back into bowl. Dip apples in coconut; place on prepared plate. Refrigerate 15 min.
  • Microwave chocolate in separate microwaveable bowl 1 to 1 min. 15 sec. or until chocolate is almost melted, stirring after 1 min.; stir until completely melted. Drizzle chocolate over apples; return to plate.
  • Refrigerate 1 hour or until chocolate is firm. Remove apples from refrigerator 15 min. before serving. (Note: Caramel apples can be refrigerated up to 2 days before serving.)

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Apples: Select firm and crisp apples that can hold their shape well, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady.
  • Use Fresh Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon juice helps prevent the apples from browning and adds a subtle tang to the caramel.
  • Make Sure the Caramel is Hot: The caramel should be hot enough to coat the apples evenly. If it's too cool, it will be difficult to work with and won't adhere to the apples.
  • Work Quickly: The caramel hardens quickly, so work quickly to coat the apples and add the toppings before it sets.
  • Use a Variety of Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Some popular options include chopped nuts, sprinkles, crushed Oreos, or even bacon bits.

Conclusion:

Chocolate Drizzled Caramel Apples are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for Halloween, Thanksgiving, or any other special occasion.
