Now that you have your ingredients, let's make caramel apples. First, rinse and dry the apples. Apples have a waxy coating that will prevent the caramel from sticking, so it's important to wash and dry it off. Make sure the apples are cold, which helps prevent the caramel from slipping off.

The Nutritional Benefits

In addition, caramel apples offer protein, antioxidant phytonutrients, and dietary fiber. The average caramel apple has 160 calories and about 28 grams of sugar. This amount of sugar may seem like a lot, but it's about the same amount you find in a container of fruit yogurt.

Place your knife about an inch from the stick and slice down through the caramel apple. You should have a nice round slice, and the seeds from the core should still be on the stick portion. Repeat your first slice on the opposite side of the caramel apple, placing the knife about an inch from the stick.

Apples: Any type of apple will work, but I recommend a tart or mild apple like Granny smith, Fuji, Gala, or McIntosh. Toppings: Oreo Caramel Apple: Dip apple in caramel, and then roll gently in crushed Oreo crumbs. Or, allow caramel to set, then dip apple in melted milk or white chocolate and roll in crushed Oreos.

If you can't refrigerate your caramel apples within two hours, it's better to throw them out than risk getting sick from eating them. Plus, storing caramel apples in the refrigerator has another benefit: The interior stays fresh-tasting and crisp while remaining soft and gooey on the outside.

We recommend refrigerating right away, but if your pie sits out on the counter overnight, don't fret. The pie will be just fine on the counter, but only for a day or two, at which point it needs to go into the fridge.

Slice your apples into 1 inch sized slices and toss in some lemon juice. Pat them dry with a paper towel and let them rest on the paper towels while you prepare the caramel dip. Wet apples will cause the dip to slide right off and not stick, so you want them as dry as you can get them.

Set the apples on the prepared baking sheet to harden. To speed up the process put the finished caramel apples in the refrigerator. Remove 30-60 minutes before serving so the caramel is soft.
