Ingredients

• 4 whole Granny Smith apples
• 300 grams Caramel candies
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 50 grams Chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)
• 100 grams Chopped nuts, sprinkles, or crushed cookies (optional, for topping)
• 20 pieces Lollipop sticks or toothpicks
• 1 sheet Parchment paper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and thoroughly dry the apples.

Step 2

Using a melon baller, scoop out small, round pieces of apple. Try to scoop pieces that are mostly flesh with minimal skin.

Step 3

Insert a lollipop stick or toothpick into each apple ball at the skin side to hold it securely.

Step 4

Place a sheet of parchment paper onto a baking tray and set aside.

Step 5

Unwrap the caramel candies and place them in a small saucepan with the heavy cream.

Step 6

Gently heat the caramel and cream mixture over low heat, stirring frequently, until the caramel is fully melted and smooth.

Step 7

Dip each apple ball into the melted caramel, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let the excess caramel drip off.

Step 8

Place the coated apple balls onto the parchment paper. If desired, quickly sprinkle with toppings such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, or crushed cookies while the caramel is still tacky.

Step 9

Optional: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle melted chocolate over the caramel apples for added decoration.

Step 10

Let the mini caramel apples set at room temperature for 30 minutes or until the caramel is firm.

Step 11

Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
