Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium apples

  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • Optional toppings: chopped nuts, sprinkles, chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry apples thoroughly. Insert a wooden stick into the stem end of each apple.

  3. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
  4. Dip each apple into the melted caramel, turning to coat completely.
  5. If desired, roll the caramel-coated apples in your favorite toppings.
  6. Place apples on a parchment-lined sheet to cool and set.
