I've shared more than a few apple recipes on my blog over the years {Inside Out Caramel Apples, Apple Sandwiches, Sauteed Apples}. My apple recipes are sometimes created out of necessity because I buy way too many apples and then don't eat them before they start to get a little mushy. But last week I actually bought a ton of apples on purpose...to make caramel apples for Grant's entire 1st grade class! Yes, when his teacher asked us parents to send in a fun apple treat last week, I didn't take the easy route and send apple chips or even a store bought apple pie. Nope, I decided to make 30 {yummy, gooey, peanut covered} caramel apples instead:) Crazy? Maybe a little bit, but they were really fun to make and even more fun to eat! And yes I made a few extra to keep at home:) Here's my step by step just in case you want to make some of these yummy treats:
Wash, dry, and insert sticks into apples. I put the sticks in the bottom of the apples because I found that they are a little more steady upside down:)
Open a ton of caramel squares. I used 3 14 oz bags of caramels and it was just about perfect to make 30 small-ish caramel apples.
Heat the caramel according to the package instructions, and then dip the apples in the warm caramel.
Add chopped peanuts to the dipped apple.
Place the apples on wax paper to cool and then enjoy...or send 27 of them to school:)
Have you ever made caramel apples?
I haven't made these before but Jamison would love to. I may just have to surprise her with this. Thanks for sharing. You are the coolest mom ever to send these to school.
ReplyDeleteI haven't made them..YET! All of the posts and pins on Pinterest with caramel apples is making me want to make them.. badly! Thanks for sharing. :)

ReplyDeleteI have never made caramel apples, but yours are so pretty! Love the crunchy stuff. :)
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't usually make them. We hit up the cider mill in the fall and that's when I usually get my fix.
ReplyDeleteThose look yummy though!
Great idea to make them for school. Maybe I'll tackle that. You made me look like a rock star last time with the "green eggs" candy on Dr Seuss' Birthday. :)
