Caramel Apples

Caramel Apples 5 medium apples 14 ounce bags caramels , unwrapped 2 Tablespoons milk 4-5 Wooden skewers (or popsicles sticks or chopsticks) wax paper For One Apple Pie Caramel Apple: 1/3 cup white chocolate chips 2 Tablespoons light brown sugar , packed 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon For One Oreo Caramel Apple: 1/3 cup white chocolate chips 3 Oreo cookies , crushed For One M&M Caramel Apple: 1/2 cup M&M candies Wash apples, remove stems, and thoroughly dry the apples. Refrigerate apples overnight or a few hours before using so they are nice and cold. Secure sticks into the tops of the apples. Place a piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Place unwrapped caramel and milk in a medium size saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir continuously until the caramels are melted. Holding an apple by the stick, dip it into the caramel, continuously turning it until it is coated. (I've found it helpful to use a spoon to help smooth the caramel over the apple). Allow any excess caramel from the bottom of the apple to drip off. Place on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining apples. Place apples immediately in the refrigerator, except for the apple you will be placing M&M's on.
