RECIPE: SUGAR-FREE CARAMEL APPLES

Ingredients

 
Preparation

1. INSERT the wooden sticks into the stem end of the apples. Cover a large plate, baking pan, or tray with waxed paper. Lightly grease the paper with butter.

2. COMBINE the caramels and water in a large saucepan and cook over medium-low heat until the caramels are completely melted, stirring constantly.

3. DIP the apples in the melted caramel, spooning additional caramel over the apples if necessary to coat evenly. Place on the buttered paper and allow the excess caramel to drip off.

4. SCRAPE pooled caramel from the bottoms of the apples for neatness. Garnish as desired, then place on a prepared serving plate and refrigerate for 1 hour.
