QVC-Todays Special-Mrs Prindable Dipped Apples- any copycat recipes or similiar ones out there

These looks so good but are expensive. Any ideas out there?

I just bumped up a long thread on how to do them. There's so many variations, but yes, they are easy to do, and sure are much less expensive.

I'll put it back onto page 1 of this BB. I assume you are a "newbie"? If you are, welcome!

bump!

:-)

Thanks everyone. I am not a newbie but I guess I'm just a little slow!! Ha Ha!!
Some of the recipes say to put the chocolate under the caramel and others say the opposite. Any advice?

Also, besides nuts and M&M's and little choc. chips, toffee, what else could you roll them in? Some of the ones on TV had Oreos- anyone tried that?

Thanks again-- Have a great day!

Any experience or recommendations on "storage time" - and the best way to store if you can keep them while?

TIA

DOUBLE-DIPPED CHOCOLATE-CARAMEL APPLE

Washing the apples makes coating them much easier.

1 large Red Delicious or Granny Smith apple, washed and dried
1 wooden chopstick or thin wooden dowel, about 8 inches long
25 caramels (from a 14-ounce package), unwrapped
4 ounces good-quality bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, broken in small
pieces
3 tablespoons heavy (whipping) cream
3/4 cup toasted chopped pecans, walnuts or almonds

1. Grease a 5-inch square of waxed paper. Place on a small plate.
2. Insert chopstick into stem end of apple, being careful not to go all the
way through.
3. Microwave 15 of the caramels and 1 tablespoon water in a medium-size
microwave-safe bowl on high 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, stirring once, until melted
and smooth. Or melt in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth.
Let stand 1 minute.
4. Holding stick, dip apple into hot caramel, turning until coated all over
and caramel is used up. (If needed, use a small metal spatula to help spread
caramel.) Place on greased paper. Refrigerate 5 minutes.
5.Meanwhile, melt remaining 10 caramels and 1 1/2 teaspoons water. Dip apple
a second time. Refrigerate 10 minutes.
6. While apple chills, microwave chocolate and cream in a medium-size bowl on
high 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, until melted. Or melt in a small saucepan over low
heat. Stir until smooth.
7. Put chopped nuts on a plate. Dip apple into chocolate mixture to coat,
using a small spatula to help spread chocolate. Dip bottom into nuts, then
roll sides gently in nuts to coat. Spoon remaining nuts over top of apple.
8. Refrigerate on waxed paper 2 hours, or until hard. Wrap in plastic wrap
and refrigerate up to 1 week. When ready to eat, unwrap, leave at room
temperature 20 minutes for caramel to soften, then cut in wedges.

The above recipe (my first experience of cut and paste on here) was from Bebeblues a few years ago.

I'll also try to copy here the further comments.

These make excellent Christmas Gifts. You can also roll in red and green M&M's or Candy Cane pieces, sprinkles etc. I also use the same recipe to make Chocolate Caramel pretzel sticks, then roll them in nuts and mini chocolate chips. I hope you guys like how they turn out! Take Care :o)

Hi! Someone gave us an apple like this for Christmas one year. It was huge! I mean just the apple by itself was very big, but then they added caramel, chocolate, nuts, and something else. It was too good--we had to split it between three people so that no one would eat too much!!
