4 or 5 medium apples
Wooden sticks
2 (14 ounce) packages caramels (96 pieces), divided
First Caramel Layer
Wash and dry apples; insert stick into stem end of each apple.
Microwave 1 package of the caramels and 2 tablespoons of the water in a small deep microwave-safe bowl on HIGH for 2 1/2 to 3-1/2 minutes or until smooth, stirring every minute. If caramel sauce is too thin, let stand about 2 minutes before dipping apples.
Dip apples into hot caramel sauce; turn until coated. Scrape excess sauce from bottom of apples. Place on greased wax paper. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours.
Second Caramel Layer
After refrigerating, repeat microwave and dipping directions with remaining the remaining package of caramels and 2 tablespoons water.
See decorating ideas below for warm caramel apples. Otherwise, refrigerate 1 to 2 hours. See decorating ideas below for chilled caramel apples.
Store decorated apples in refrigerator. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes before serving to allow caramel to soften. Makes 4 to 5 medium apples or 2 large (3/4 to 1 pound each).
