Caramel Apples

With the arrival of fall, it’s time for caramel apples.  They are easy to make and everyone in the family can get involved.  Leave them plain or dip them in chopped Heath toffee bar, chopped peanuts, toasted coconut shreds or any other sweet of your choice.

Rich and buttery homemade caramel sauce is incredibly delicious with apples but I use the sauce more like a caramel fondue for dipping apples and other fruit.  I found that melting store-bought caramels works better for coating apples, making a nice, thick layer of caramel that firms up well.
