- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup karo syrup
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate wafers, white or milk chocolate, melted
- 1/2 cup toppings, sprinkles, crushed candy bars, crystal sugar, etc.
Instructions
- Wash the apples to remove any wax by soaking them in a half gallon of water mixed with 1 cup of white vinegar. Dry the apples completely with a dish towel or paper towel.
- Remove the stem from each apple and insert a lollipop stick into the top, pushing it about 3/4 of the way through.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the apples on top.

Ensure the apples are completely dry before dipping them to prevent the caramel from sliding off.
Sticks can be inserted into the apples a day ahead to save time.
