Farm Fresh Apple Pie Caramel Apples

These Apple Pie Caramel Apples take traditional dipped apples to a whole other level!

I start with fresh picked, tart green apples and dip them in sweet caramel then in white chocolate.

They are topped off with a layer of  cinnamon sugar and chilled until ready to enjoy with family and friends!

Fall in Missouri is stunningly beautiful and  we were lucky enough to take fall family photos with Natasha Shea Photography at the gorgeous HoneySuckle Farms in Iberia, Mo.

The farm was the perfect setting to bring my Apple Pie Caramel Apples for my family to devour and enjoy!

Sweet Stella has a sweet tooth and loved them the most!

Some of my favorite things about Natasha’s photography are her locations and backdrops. She has a great eye and is very creative, my favorite traits in a photographer. This vintage farm set up, with the truck, flowers, and apples was stunning. For Christmas she has a hot cocoa stand and with props that looks adorable for family photos and (my favorite) snow mini sessions!

I highly recommend her for seasonal photos like ours.

Apple Pie Caramel Apples

Makes 5 apples

Ingredients

• 5 medium or large apples I like green, stems removed
• 1 11 oz pkg caramels
• 2 tbsp water
• 1 cup white vanilla flavored candy melts
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 5 wooden or plastic sticks

Instructions

• In a small bowl mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
• Wash the apples with hot water to remove any wax and dry well.
• Insert one stick into stem end of each apple, about halfway through.
• Line a baking sheet and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
• Place caramel and water in a bowl and heat in the microwave for 2 minutes. Stir until completely melted and smooth.
• Dip the apples in to the caramel one at a time. Let caramel drip off and scrape off any excess caramel on the bottom.
• Place caramel apples on the lined tray. Let set (you can put in the fridge to harden too).
• Add the candy melts to a bowl and heat on 50% power for 30 seconds intervals until melted and smooth when stirred.
• Dip each caramel apple in the melted candy melts, twirling until coated at least halfway.
• Immediately after dipping, liberally sprinkle the apples with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
• Refrigerate to fully set, about an hour.

Tart, sweet, and a fun fall treat!

One large apple is big enough to share. I like to cut them in wedges for my kids. 

These dipped apples are my favorite fall treat.
