Celebrate National Dessert Day by making your own!
Prep time: 15 mins | Servings: 8–10 pops
Ingredients:
3 large crisp apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith work great!)
1 bag caramels (unwrapped) or 1 cup melted caramel bits
1 tbsp milk
Wooden popsicle sticks or lollipop sticks
Halloween sprinkles (orange, purple, green, and fun ghost shapes!)
Assembly Steps:
Slice the Apples: Cut the apples sideways into thick, round slices (about 1/2-inch thick). Trim out any seeds from the center.
Insert the Stick: Make a tiny slit in the bottom edge of each apple slice and slide in a wooden stick. Pat the apple slices dry with a paper towel so the caramel sticks!
Melt & Dip: Melt caramel with 1 tbsp of milk in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Dip or spread caramel over the top of each apple slice.
Decorate: Immediately shower with bright Halloween sprinkles and let them cool on parchment paper until set.
