Easy Caramel Apples

Fall would not be complete without this childhood favorite. I look forward to this time of year, for just this reason. :)




Ingredients

  • 4 gala apples (or the apples of your choice)
  • 1 (11) oz bag of caramels
  • 1/4 cup of milk
  • 1 cup of chopped dry roasted peanuts
  • 4 wooden caramel apple sticks


Directions
Prepare the apples by removing the stem and inserting a wooden stick into the middle of each apple. Set each apple on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper or aluminum foil.

Add the caramel candy and the milk to a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave for approximately 1 1/2 minutes making sure to check the caramel mixture every 30 seconds to avoid overcooking the candy and the caramel mixture bubbling over. Once the caramel has melted, remove from the microwave and stir the melted candy and milk until the mixture is well blended. Let the caramel mixture cool slightly for 5 minutes. 

When the caramel has cooled slightly, cover each apple with the caramel sauce (just enough to cover each apple). Sprinkle the peanuts onto the caramel immediately so that the peanuts will stick. Let the caramel apples chill for 30 minutes and enjoy!

Note: Cooked caramel is very hot! Be careful when removing it from the microwave.
