Ingredients

  • 2 pounds lady apples or tart apples, such as Macouns or Winesaps

  1. Wash and completely dry the apples. Insert a wooden stick into the top end of each. Line a baking sheet with was paper and set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the caramels with 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water. Cook until smooth, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

Quick Tip

Pat washed fruits and veggies dry before bagging them for storage. Damp items spoil quickly.
