Steps:
- Unwrap candies and place into a bowl.
- Have your GH cut the Fuji apples into quarters and cut into each quarter to remove the core. The GH should then slice apples into 8 pieces per apple. Count for them and make sure they make even slices. You need 16 slices, total. Squirt some lemon juice into a bowl with 1 cup of water in it. Add the sliced apples and turn them around in the lemon water then drain them in a strainer or colander. Lemon juice is sour, but it's only a tiny bit on lots of apple slices. The apples will still taste sweet and really good. The skin of an apple keeps them from turning brown before you cut them, but apples will turn brown once they are cut up and the air can touch their insides. Lemon juice is acidic. That means that it has special properties in it that can keep apples from turning brown.
- Add 1 tablespoon water and peanut butter to your caramel candies. Place candies in microwave oven on high for 2 minutes. Stir the dip with a rubber spatula. If the candy is not melted all the way, put it back in the microwave on high for another 20 seconds. Add a pinch of cinnamon to the sauce and stir. DO NOT TELL ANYONE ABOUT THE CINNAMON! Tell your GH not to tell, too. This is your secret ingredient.
- To serve, place drained, sliced apples next to your caramel and peanut butter dip and start dunking!
PEANUT CARAMEL APPLES
I remember always getting candy and caramel apples at the fair or down the shore when I was a kid. This recipe is a little different with the addition of peanut butter, but just as good or better! If you remember having these as a kid, make them and be a kid again :) Or make them for your kids or grandkids for a treat!

Steps:
- Wash and dry apples.
- Insert stick into stem end of each apple and set aside.
- Place peanuts in a shallow bowl or pie pan and set aside.
- In a heavy saucepan, cook caramels, peanut butter and water over low heat until melted and blended, stirring frequently.
- Remove from heat (you may have to return to heat if mixture starts to set up).
- Dip and turn each apple in caramel mixture, coating most of the way up.
- Allow excess to drip into pan.
- Dip apples in peanuts and place on a waxed paper lined baking sheet or into paper cupcake liners.
- Store in a cool place or refrigerate.
- Remove from refrigerator 20 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Use a variety of apples. Different apples have different flavors and textures, so using a variety will give your caramel apples a more complex flavor and texture.
- Choose firm, crisp apples. Soft apples will not hold up well to the caramel coating.
- Wash the apples thoroughly. This will remove any dirt or debris from the apples.
- Dry the apples completely. Wet apples will not adhere to the caramel coating.
- Use a good quality caramel. The type of caramel you use will make a big difference in the taste of your caramel apples. Look for a caramel that is smooth and creamy, and that has a rich flavor.
- Be patient. Dipping the apples in the caramel and then letting them cool takes time. Don't rush the process, or your caramel apples will not turn out as well.
- Get creative. You can decorate your caramel apples with a variety of toppings, such as nuts, sprinkles, or chocolate chips.
Conclusion:
Caramel apples are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make caramel apples that are sure to impress your family and friends.
