Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 firm apples washed, dried, and sliced into 1/2-inch wedges

Instructions
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment. Arrange the apple wedges in a single layer and brush the cut surfaces lightly with lemon juice.
- Place the caramels and cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and pourable.
- Dip the wide end of each apple wedge into the warm caramel, leaving the pointed end uncovered. Let excess caramel drip back into the bowl.
- Place the dipped wedges on the parchment. Sprinkle with chocolate chips or peanuts while the caramel is still soft.
- Chill for 10 minutes, or until the coating is set. Serve cold or let stand for 5 minutes so the apples are easier to bite.
