Deluxe Dipped Apples Recipes

Steps:

• Insert wooden craft sticks or lollipop sticks into the cores of the apples at the stem. Place the roasted peanuts and candies on separate plates. Set aside.
• Place the chocolate into a metal or glass bowl and set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir frequently until melted. Remove from the heat. Dip apples into the melted chocolate, turning to coat completely. Dip or roll in candy or nuts, then place on a sheet of waxed paper. Repeat with remaining apples. Allow apples to set at room temperature until the chocolate is firm, about 20 minutes, before serving.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Dip apples into boiling water briefly, using a slotted spoon, to remove any wax that may be present. Wipe dry, and set aside to cool. Insert sticks into the apples through the cores.
• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and coat with cooking spray. Place the unwrapped caramels into a microwave-safe medium bowl along with 2 tablespoons of water. Cook on high for 2 minutes, then stir and continue cooking and stirring at 1 minute intervals until caramel is melted and smooth.
• Hold apples by the stick, and dip into the caramel to coat. Set on waxed paper; refrigerate for about 15 minutes to set.
• Heat the chocolate with 1 tablespoon of shortening in a microwave-safe bowl until melted and smooth. Dip apples into the chocolate to cover the layer of caramel. Return to the waxed paper to set.
• Melt the candy melts in the microwave with the remaining shortening, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Use a fork or wooden stick to flick colored designs onto your apples for a finishing touch. Refrigerate until set, overnight is even better.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Insert ice pop sticks into the cores of the apples and set aside.
• Place the colored chocolate discs into separate glass bowls and melt in the microwave according to package instructions. Drizzle a few tablespoons second and third colors in to the base color; do not stir.
• One at a time, fully dip the apples in the base color, twisting and turning as you remove them to create marbled patterns. Allow the excess to drip off, then set on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate the dipped apples for at least 15 minutes to harden.

Steps:

• Insert skewer in stem end of each apple. Divide nuts into 6 mounds on waxed paper.
• Heat water and caramels over low heat, stirring occasionally, until caramels are melted and smooth. Keep caramel over very low heat. Dip each apple into caramel, spooning mixture over apple until completely coated. (If caramel hardens while coating apples, heat over low heat.) Roll side and bottom of each apple in nuts. Let stand on waxed paper.
• Heat chocolate chips and shortening over low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted. Spoon chocolate over top of each apple, allowing some to drizzle down sides. Let stand until coating is firm. Store loosely covered at room temperature or in refrigerator up to 1 week. Microwave Directions: Prepare apples and nuts as directed. Place water and caramels in 4-cup microwavable measure. Microwave uncovered on High 3 to 4 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes, until caramels can be stirred smooth. Continue as directed. (If caramel thickens, microwave about 30 seconds.) Place chocolate chips and shortening in 1-cup microwavable measure. Microwave uncovered on Medium (50%) 2 to 3 minutes or until smooth.

Steps:

• Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Do not overheat or chocolate will scorch. Stir in the cinnamon. Spread the mixture thinly on wax paper into a 9 inch square, then place onto a baking sheet. Freeze until hard, about 5 minutes. Remove from the freezer and crush the white chocolate into small pieces and place into a bowl.
• Melt the semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Do not overheat or chocolate will scorch. Skewer each apple slice with a fork. Dip the apple into the semisweet chocolate, wiping off excess, then dip the apple into the white chocolate pieces. Carefully remove the fork and place the chocolate dipped apple slices onto a plate covered with wax paper. Refrigerate until hard, about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Wash apples, then dry completely. (Note: In order for the chocolate to stick to the apples, the apples need to be well chilled before washing, drying and dipping in the melted chocolate.)
• Cover plate with parchment; spray with cooking spray. Insert wooden pop stick into stem end of each apple.
• Melt chocolate in small microwaveable bowl following microwaving directions on package. Stir in oil. Dip bottom half of each apple in chocolate mixture, turning until evenly coated. Sprinkle nuts over chocolate. Place on prepared plate.
• Refrigerate 20 min. or until chocolate is firm. (The dipped apples can be refrigerated up to 2 days before serving.) Cut each apple in half to serve.

Steps:

• For dip, beat first 4 ingredients until smooth; stir in marshmallows. Spoon half the mixture into a 3-cup bowl; top with half the fudge topping. Repeat layers. Sprinkle with nuts., To serve, toss apples with lemon juice. Serve with dip.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper; generously coat waxed paper with cooking spray. Wash and dry apples; remove stems. Insert pop sticks into apples., In a large heavy saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add marshmallows; stir until melted. Dip apples, one at a time, into warm marshmallow mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Place on prepared baking sheet and refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes., Place graham cracker crumbs in a shallow dish. In top of a double boiler or a metal bowl over barely simmering water, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Dip bottom half of apples in chocolate; dip bottoms in cracker crumbs. Place on baking sheet. Refrigerate until set.
