Caramel Apple

A popular fruit snack or dessert made by coating an apple in caramel. To make the Caramel apple, begin by inserting a wooden stick into the stem end of an apple, so it can be used as a handle to hold the apple. Holding onto the stick, the apple is hand dipped in a warm pot of melted caramel or candy, coating it fully and then allowing it to cool. As the caramel cools, the coating becomes uniform and somewhat thick, providing a sweet rich flavor that blends nicely with the sweet to somewhat tart flavors of the apple.
