I love caramel apples, but they can be time-consuming to make. I also find them difficult to eat. They are hard to bite into without smearing the caramel all over my face. I was glad to find this easy way to make and eat them.

I peeled my apples and cut them into slices. (Peeling is optional; you can just as easily leave the peel on.) Since I was eating them right away, I didn’t bother sprinkling them with lemon juice. They disappeared quicker than the flesh could discolor.

Unwrap three caramels. Place in a microwave-safe bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of dark corn syrup and 1 teaspoon of water. Microwave for twenty seconds. Stir with a fork. Microwave for twenty seconds more. Stir until all the ingredients are combined and form a syrup. Pour over the apple slices and enjoy. Ahhhhhh….Scrumptious! And so very EASY.
