With Thanksgiving just a few days away, I think it’s time to discuss one of my favorite treats of all time; Caramel Apples. The deliciously sweet and crispy apple… the warm, soft and chewy caramel… and when combined…magic.

Some people think that these treats are difficult and time consuming to make. But if fact, using caramel squares and a few simple ingredients, they can be made with relative ease.

This recipe calls for the following:

2. Melt caramels, along with water, in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until melted caramels are smooth,

4. Finally, dip each apple in the caramel and place on aluminum foil to cool.
