This year Im having a bunch of people over for the Canadian Fall weekend potluck. Ive requested my friends to think fall when planning the menu. Since Im hosting, Im preparing the bird that I affectionately call the beast and for dessert, I thought of making an all time favourite Candy Apples. For its contrast against the sweetness of the caramel and chocolate, I chose the Granny Smith and I bought snacking apples instead of the regular sized apples.

Vinegar | 4 Tablespoon | |
Granny smith apples | 8 Small | |
Soft caramel candies | 500 Gram ((((1 lb)))) | |
Sprinkles | 2 Tablespoon ((((and candies)))) | |
Crushed walnuts | 1/4 Cup (4 tbs) | |
Chocolate | 8 Ounce |
GETTING READY:
1. Prepare the apples by boiling water, adding vinegar and quickly dipping the apples in to remove any wax.
2. Dry thoroughly and refrigerate for best results.
MAKING:
3. Once cool, remove the stems and pierce each apple through the middle with a bamboo stick.
4. Prepare the caramel by melting the candies & milk in a microwave for 1 minute, stir and then microwave again for another minute till smooth.
5. Working quickly, dip the apple in the caramel and dredge in the crushed walnuts.
6. Place on a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
7. You can also add sprinkles or candies as well.
8. Put it back in the fridge for an hour for the caramel to set.
