October 21, 2004 Caramel Apple Day with recipes And just what can we say about this? One of America's Favorite Treats - and American Dentists, too!
CROCKPOT CARAMEL APPLES
2 pk caramels (14oz each) 1/4 c water 8 medium apples 8 Popsicle sticks
In your crockpot, combine the caramels and water. Cover and cook on high for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring frequently. Wash and dry the apples. Insert a Popsicle stick into the stem end of each apple. Turn the heat control to low. Dip apples into the hot caramel and turn to coat entire surface. Holding apple above the pot, scrape off excess caramel from bottom. Place on greased waxed paper to cool.

EASY CARAMEL APPLES
6 small apples 1 package caramels (14 oz.) 1/2 cup chopped nuts 6 popsicle sticks
1) Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper. Empty nuts onto the paper and divide into six equal heaps. Leave as much space as possible between each heap.
2) Wash and dry the apples. Twist off the stems and push popsicle sticks half way onto the apples where the stems used to be.
3) Melt the caramels in the microwave or a saucepan over low heat.
4) Dip apples in the melted caramel to coat. Use a knife to help cover the whole apple. Place each apple, stick side up, onto a heap of nuts and roll over to cover.
5) Refrigerate until the caramel is firm, about 1/2 hour.
