We’ve all heard of traditional toffee apples which are a hit at fairs and fetes, but what about Caramel Candy Apples? They are something just a little bit more gourmet!
We used Wether’s Originals as the caramels in this recipe – but if you can find any hard caramel lollies – they will work perfectly.

Ingredients
800 gram Pre-made caramels-2 bags
1/4 cups Water
10 medium Granny Smith Apples
1/4 cups Caster sugar-or more if you need it
800 grams Werther’s Original Cream Candies
Directions
- Unwrap all the caramels.
- Using a large wooden spoon, mix the caramels and water together in a saucepan.
- Cook the caramel mixture on low heat, stirring every 5 minutes until it is completely melted.
- While the caramels are melting, wash and dry the apples.
- Pour the sugar into a small shallow bowl.
- Spread a large piece of waxed paper, about 30cm square, on the counter. Lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- When the caramels have finished cooking, take a stick and carefully push it into an apple at the stern end.
- Carefully dip the apple into the hot caramel, turning the apple so that it is completely covered in caramel.
- Hold the apple above the saucepan and use a rubber spatula to scrape any extra caramel off the bottom of the apple.
- Dip the bottom of the caramel apple in the sugar. (Doing this helps to keep it from sticking to the waxed paper).
- Place the apple on the greased waxed paper to cool.
Notes
- Caramel Candy Apples are not suitable for freezing.
