Maple Walnut Caramel Apple Recipe

What says Fall more than maple, walnuts, and caramel apples? (Ok, maybe pumpkins, but today we celebrate the apples.)

In keeping with our 25 Best Ideas for a Fall Family Bucket List, making Maple Walnut Caramel Apples is #14!

This apple is smothered in layers of sweet goodness, a yummy sweet Fall indulgence.

You can use any type of apple that you like. I prefer a good tart Granny Smith to offset the sweetness of all the toppings.

This recipe is for just 6 apples but can easily be doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled for a crowd!

Ingredients:

Cover enough area with waxed paper to hold how many apples you choose to make.
Break walnuts into pieces in a baggie with the back of a spoon, and set aside.
Wash your apples well under running water to remove the wax and residue from the grocery store, and remove stems.
Pierce the center of the apple through the core with the sharp end of the skewer at least 3” in. If needed, cut the skewer so that about 5”-6” sticks out of the apple.
Melt caramel on the stove using the directions on the package- mine called for water whisked constantly into unwrapped caramels until melted.
Drizzle caramel over the apple with a spoon.
Set on wax paper to set up.
While waiting, begin melting the chocolate one type at a time. Melt the milk chocolate in a double broiler or in a dish safe for microwaving in 20 seconds increments, stirring each time before heating again until smooth and creamy.
When done, stir in maple extract evenly.
Use a spoon to drizzle milk chocolate over the top of the caramel, and place it back on waxed paper to set.
Repeat with white chocolate chips, then immediately roll the apple in walnuts while the chocolate is still liquid. Set on paper to harden up the final time.
Wrap each well in plastic wrap.

Depending on how thickly you cover the apple with each layer, you may have some leftover toppings.

You can make another apple or two or try using them for coating pretzels for a change.
