 Caramel Apples
What you will need: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or peanuts 5 small apples 5 wooden ice-cream sticks 1 package (14 ounces) chewy vanilla caramels 1 tablespoon water What to do next: 1. Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper. Empty the nuts onto it and divide them into 5 heaps. Make sure to leave lots of space between the heaps. 2. Wash and dry the apples. Twist off the stems (if they still have them). Push a wooden ice cream stick about half way into each apple in the same place the stem was. 3. Unwrap the caramels and put them and the water in the top of a double boiler. Fill the bottom of the double boiler with about 2 inches of water. Put the double boiler together and place it over medium heat. 4. Heat the caramels until they are melted and smooth, stirring every once in a while. Remove the double boiler from the heat. 5. Holding an apple by the stick, dip it into the caramel to coat it. Use a spatula or a table knife to help cover the whole apple. Put the apple stick-side up on a heap of nuts, turning it so all the nuts stick to it. Coat the other apples the same way. (If the caramel too stiff, put the double boiler on heat for a few minutes.) 6. Refrigerate the apples until the caramel if firm, about 1/2 hour. Serves 5   Back To Desserts
