MICROWAVED CARAMEL APPLES
I found this to be the quickest and easiest caramel apple recipe I have tried. I started out using 5 bags of caramels, and then added more as I needed. It really does make the operation much easier using lots of caramel, especially when you can cool and store the rest of the caramel to use in other things, or cut up with scissors and eat as a candy.

Steps:
- Wash apples, and allow to completely dry and come to room temperature.
- Place buttered wax paper or release foil on a cookie sheet.
- Push sticks into the top of the apples.
- Have toppings in a small bowl nearby.
- Place caramels into a microwave safe or heat safe deep bowl and microwave for two minutes on high.
- Stir caramels if you are able. Be careful as the bowl will be really hot.
- Continue heating caramels on high in 1-minute intervals, always stirring, until mixture becomes very smooth and fluid.
- Quickly dip a couple of apples, swirling them to coat everywhere.
- Hold apples over the bowl and allow to drain, and slide the bottoms of the apples against the top of the bowl to scrape off excess caramel.
- If you like the toppings on the apples, press the apples lightly into the bowl of toppings.
- Place dipped apples on the cookie sheet.
- Check the condition of the caramel and if it is thickening, go ahead and heat it for another minute and stir. Don't worry if you need to reheat often, as it's ok.
- Continue dipping apples and reheating as necessary.
- If you have leftover caramel, pour it onto a heavily buttered cookie sheet and allow to cool and set, then roll it up and place in a ziplock bag to use later.
- You can chill apples to get them to set, or just let them sit in the pan to cool off.
- Place in cupcake liners before serving, and use within 1-2 days.
CARAMEL APPLES
The caramel coating is very gooey, so refrigerate the apples for about 15 minutes, or until the caramel has firmed up. (You will need 6 wooden craft sticks for this recipe.)

EASY MICROWAVE CARAMELS
These caramels were "homework" for a candy-making class that I took some time ago...and I've repeated that assignment over and over since! I usually make an extra batch and freeze it for company or last-minute gift-giving. After only about 20 quick seconds in the microwave, the frozen caramel is soft enough to cut, wrap and pack into a candy jar.

Steps:
- In 2-qt. microwave-safe pitcher, combine the butter, sugar, syrup, milk and salt. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, stirring once after every minute. When butter is melted, stir well. Attach microwave candy thermometer. Microwave on high for about 8 minutes or until mixture reaches 245° (firm-ball stage). No stirring is needed. Remove from microwave; stir in vanilla and walnuts. Let stand for 10 minutes, stirring well several times. Pour into buttered 13x9-in. pan (smaller 11x7-in. pan yields thicker candy as shown in photo). Refrigerate until cool. Invert pan. Carefully tap out whole block of candy; cut in squares. Wrap in waxed paper and store in refrigerator. (Can also freeze.)

Tips:
- Choose the right apples. Firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best for caramel apples. Avoid soft or bruised apples, as they will not hold up well in the microwave.
- Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. This will help the caramel adhere to the apples.
- Use a microwave-safe bowl. Make sure the bowl is large enough to hold the apples without overcrowding them.
- Microwave the caramel in short intervals, stirring in between. This will help prevent the caramel from burning.
- Be careful when dipping the apples in the caramel. The caramel will be very hot, so use a spoon or fork to hold the apples.
- Let the caramel apples cool completely before eating them. This will help the caramel to set and harden.
Conclusion:
Microwaved caramel apples are a quick and easy treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can create a delicious and festive snack that is perfect for any occasion.
