Ingredients

  • 6 Granny Smith apples washed and dried
  • 24 oz Peter's Caramel you can use Kraft caramels as well. Just follow instructions for melting.
  • 16 oz white almond bark or white chocolate chips (see notes)

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Wash and dry apples thoroughly. Remove apple stems. Take sticks and push them halfway through the top of the apple. I bought sticks that had one pointy end, this made inserting the sticks much easier. You can use popsicle sticks for this too.  
  • In a small bowl combine the brown sugar, sugar, and cinnamon. Mix to combine. 
  • Place apples on a wax paper lined baking sheet and place in the freezer while you melt the caramel. 
  • Melt the caramel according to package directions. Once melted, take the apples out of the freezer and dip them into the caramel. Scrape off any excess caramel on the bottom. This will prevent pooling when you place it on your tray. Place caramel covered apples back on the wax paper lined baking sheet. Put the apples in the freezer to speed up the caramel setting process.
  • Melt the almond bark (or white chocolate). Once melted, dip each apple into the white chocolate. Immediately after dipping into the white almond bark, generously sprinkle the apples with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Place the finished apples in the freezer for 5 minutes to set. Remove from freezer, cut into 8 slices and enjoy!

Notes

A bit of advice when melting caramel, Peter's caramel suggests adding a tablespoon of evaporated milk to the caramel (as needed) to help thin the caramel, but a word of caution! Don't add too much otherwise the caramel won't fully set and will ooze (for lack of a better word). 
If using white chocolate chips add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the white chocolate to help it melt easier.
