Ingredients

Scale

4 medium Granny Smith apples
1 cup soft caramel candies
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
1/4 cup colorful sprinkles or crushed nuts
4 popsicle sticks

Instructions

Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Insert a popsicle stick into the top of each apple.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the caramel candies with a splash of water, heating in 30-second intervals until smooth.
Dip each apple into the melted caramel, swirling for an even coat, then let excess drip off before placing on parchment paper.
If using chocolate, melt the chocolate chips and drizzle over the caramel-coated apples.
Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle your chosen toppings onto each apple.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow everything to harden.
