Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Wash the apples well, then dry them thoroughly. Insert candy apple sticks into the stem end of the apples.
- Combine the caramels, cream and salt in a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly melted and smooth, 7 to 8 minutes. Dip an apple into the caramel, tilting the pan if necessary to ensure the apple is well-coated. Roll the apples in the garnishes if using. Repeat with the remaining apples and caramel. Cool completely on the parchment paper, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the paper and serve.
THE BEST CARAMEL APPLES

Steps:
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Dip apples in boiling water for a few seconds, then dry with paper towels to remove any wax from the peels. Set apples aside; when completely cool, insert a wooden chopstick firmly into the bottom of each apple for a handle.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Stir butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and sweetened condensed milk together in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and reduce heat to medium. Cook until a candy thermometer reads 248 degrees F (120 degrees C), 25 to 30 minutes; stir constantly to prevent burning. A teaspoon of the syrup, dropped in a glass of cold water, should form a firm ball. Remove caramel from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Working quickly, dip each apple into the hot caramel to completely coat the apple and about 1/2 inch of the wooden handle. Sprinkle apples with any desired toppings while still hot. Let caramel apples cool on the parchment paper. Use caution, caramel is very hot.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, pour the hot water over the dates. Allow the dates to soak for 10-15 mins. This makes them easier to blend.
- Add the date and the water to a food processor and blend until smooth.
- NOTE: If your date puree is looking thick and chunky, add a few splashes of water while the food processor is running until the mixture thins out.
- Add the date mixture to a sauce pan over medium-low heat. Add the almond milk, vanilla extract, and salt, and mix to combine. Stir often for 8-10 minutes until thick.
- Use a melon baller to scoop out apple balls.
- While the caramel cools, stick the apple balls onto the popsicle sticks. Dip the apple sticks into the caramel, roll in toppings (if desired), and allow to set in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. They hold their shape well and can withstand the caramel coating.
- Make sure the apples are thoroughly dried: This will help the caramel stick better. You can dry them with a paper towel or let them air dry for a few minutes.
- Use a good quality caramel sauce: You can make your own caramel sauce or use a store-bought brand. Make sure the caramel is thick and creamy.
- Be careful when dipping the apples in the caramel: The caramel is very hot, so be sure to use a spoon or tongs to dip the apples. Swirl the apples around to coat them evenly.
- Let the apples cool completely before serving: This will help the caramel set and harden.
Conclusion:
Caramel apples are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of caramel apples that will be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give caramel apples a try.
