Mini Caramel Apples

This probably belongs on our food blog... I'm posting it here anyways! What a cute fall treat, no?


Directions:
-several Granny Smith apples, washed and peeled
-caramel (melt Kraft caramels with a tbsp of milk; or use premade caramel apple dip)
-melon baller
-lemon juice
-lolipop sticks (& candy papers if desired)
-cookie sheet covered in waxed paper
-nuts, sprinkles, or other toppings if desired

Wash and peel the apples. Use a melon baller to extract scoops (each apple will yield about 6 full scoops). Place in a bowl, sprinkle with lemon juice and move to a paper towel to dry out. (If balls are dipped before they are dry the caramel won't stick). Insert sticks in balls. Dip each ball into caramel, and place on cookie sheet.

Put cookie sheet in refrigerator until balls are set (about 3o minutes). Place in candy papers if desired. Serve immediately. (Store in refrigerator- Unpeeled apple will spoil much faster than a regular caramel apple).
