Microwave 1 package of the caramels and 2
tablespoons of the water in a small deep
microwave-safe bowl on HIGH for 2-1/2 to 3-1/2
minutes or until smooth, stirring every minute.
If caramel sauce is too thin, let stand about
2 minutes before dipping apples.

turn until coated. Scrape excess sauce
from bottom of apples. Place on greased
wax paper. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours.

Store decorated apples in refrigerator. Let
stand at room temperature 15 minutes before
serving to allow caramel to soften. Makes
