Directions

Prepare apples and candy bars: Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Place crushed candy bars in a shallow bowl.

Insert craft sticks into the stem end of each apple.

Melt caramels: Heat caramels and heavy cream in medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth.

Coat apples: Use the stick end to hold one apple over a pot of caramel and spoon sauce over the apple to coat, allowing excess to drip back into the pot.

Roll apples in crushed candy, pressing to help candy adhere. Place apple, stick up, on parchment paper.

Repeat with remaining apples and serve. (Apples can be refrigerated for several days; bring to room temperature before serving.)
