Instructions

Wash and dry the apples. Cut into bite-sized chunks, removing the core and seeds.
Insert a toothpick or skewer into each apple piece and set aside on parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
Dip each apple bite into the caramel, letting the excess drip off.
Immediately roll or sprinkle with crushed nuts, toffee bits, or sprinkles if desired.
Place the finished bites on parchment paper to set. Chill in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to firm up.
Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy within a few hours.

Notes

Use lemon juice on apple pieces to prevent browning if preparing ahead of time.
Be sure apples are dry before dipping to help caramel stick better.
Try different toppings like mini chocolate chips or crushed cookies for variety.
