  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 candy apples 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 Gala apples
  • lollipop sticks
  • muffin tin liners
  • 1 recipe for homemade salted caramel sauce -or- 1/2 caramel candies and 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 white chocolate melting candies
  • Green food coloring (optional)
  • 1/2 cup macaron coconut flakes
  • 1/2 cup chocolate sprinkles
  • 1/4 cup black sugar crystals

Instructions

  1. Wash apples then insert a lollipop stick at the stem of each. Set aside on a baking sheet with muffin tin liners.
  2. Prepare your desired toppings by setting each up in their own bowl.
  3. Prepare the homemade salted caramel sauce as directed or in a small sauce pan over medium-low heat, melt down your caramel candies in a double-boiler with ¼ cup milk. Stir regularly until the caramel is smooth.
  4. Dip each apple in the caramel sauce then in your desired toppings. I alternated dipping the apples in chocolate sprinkles and the coconut flakes. The sprinkle with sugar crystals.
  5. Place the apples in the muffin liner cups and let the caramel set.
  6. In the meantime, melt down the white chocolate and if desired add a few drops of green food coloring or orange for a festive Halloween touch.
  7. Drizzle the melted chocolate over each apple and if desired, sprinkle again with extra sugar crystals or sprinkles.
  8. Let the apples set before serving - though this step is not necessary 😉

Notes

If you like you can dip some apples in chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds or peanuts) Finely chop 1 cup of desired nuts. You can also top with chopped candy pieces or candy corn. Get creative!
