Equipment

  • Microwave Safe bowl
  • knife

Ingredients

  • 4 large Envy or Honeycrisp apples
  • 1 bag Ghirardelli chocolate melting wafers*
  • cup Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers*
  • ½ cup Krafts Classic Melting Caramels
  • 1 Tbsp heavy cream
  • Bamboo sticks*
  • Extra Toppings:
  • Mini M&Ms
  • Peanuts chopped
  • Variety of Sprinkles
  • Mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Cut apples into ½ inch thick slices and place on a paper towel. Put another paper towel on top of the apples and gently press down to remove as much excess water as possible. If the apples are wet, the chocolate will not stick.
  • Using a knife, cut a small slit in the bottom of the apple. Then, insert the bamboo stick. (Using a knife first will prevent the apple from cracking when inserting the stick)
  • In a microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate wafers according to the package.
  • Dip each apple into the melted chocolate and use a spoon/spatula to cover completely. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off and place the apple onto the baking sheet to harden. Repeat until all the apples are coated. Place in the refrigerator to harden.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, melt the white chocolate wafers according to the package.
  • Pull the apples out of the refrigerator and drizzle with white chocolate.
  • Lastly, make the caramel by adding the melting caramels and heavy cream to a small saucepan on low heat. Stir constantly for 3-5 minutes until a smooth sauce has formed. Immediately drizzle onto the apples. Add the final toppins.

Notes

*Be sure to use the rounded bamboo sticks and not the pointy ones to prevent the apples cracking.
**You can use any kind of melting wafers. I find that Ghirardelli always melts the best.
