Ingredient Notes
Apples: Look for small, perfectly round apples with no visible blemishes. I like tart apples, like Granny Smith, but you can use any apple you like! Soft Caramels: A great hack for no-fuss caramel apples. Soft caramels simply need to be melted down and mixed with some cream. No need to worry about crystallizing or burning! Heavy Cream: Thins out the caramel so that it can coat the apples. Vanilla: Enhances the rich caramel flavor. Salt: Adds a bit of saltiness to balance the caramel flavor.
Whether you make these homemade caramel apples for Halloween, Thanksgiving, or just a fun weekend, you’re gonna LOVE these festive fall treats!
