📝 Preparation Steps
1

2
Line a 13 by 9-inch baking sheet or baking dish with a sheet of parchment paper, spray parchment paper with non-stick cooking spray, set in the fridge.

4
Heat in microwave in ⏱️ 30 second increments, stirring well between intervals, until melted and smooth. This will take about ⏱️ 2 - 3 minutes. If caramel is extra runny let it cool just briefly so it doesn't run right off the apples.
5
Dip apples one at a time into caramel on an angle so it covers nearly to the top center. Rotate and turn to coat apple. Lift apple and let excess run off, then run bottom of apple along inside edge of bowl to remove excess caramel. Lift apple and turn apple upside down to let caramel run up the apple a little then immediately roll in toppings (or sprinkle with toppings) before caramel sets.
6
Turn apples upright and place on prepared baking sheet in fridge, repeat process with remaining apples. As needed reheat caramel in microwave in ⏱️ 15 second increments for a runny, dip-able consistency.
7
Allow caramel to set completely, about ⏱️ 30 minutes in the fridge (you can eat them before this but if you want caramel to firm back up the wait the ⏱️ 30 minutes). Cut apples into slices just when ready to enjoy so they don't brown.
