Recipe 664 - Microwave Caramel Apples

(by Shirley McNevich)


4 or 5 medium sized apples
wooden popsicle sticks for each apple
1 - 14oz. bag Kraft caramels
2 TBSP water

Wash and dry the apples. Insert a popsicle stick into the stem end of each apple.
Microwave the caramels and the water (use a deep microwave safe bowl)--
microwave on high between 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 minutes (stir after each minute) until
caramel is smooth. If the caramel is too thin, let it stand 2 minutes before coating
apples. Dip apples into hot caramel and turn until whole apple is coated. Scrape the
extra caramel from the bottom of the apples. Place each apple on greased wax
paper. When cooled, store them in refrigerator. When eating them from the
refrigerator, let them sit on the counter for 15 minutes to soften the caramel before
eating.
