Just made these! They looked great… until I went to eat one and the caramel slid off… not sure why. I washed them very thoroughly to make sure all the wax was off. I also had problems with the caramel sticking to the wax paper. I ended up cutting the caramel bottom of the apple off, just to separate them. I also tried rolling them in some toppings, immediately after coating but nothing would stick because it set really quick! Drizzling is the way to go! I also had problems with air bubbles. My apples were room temperature; I think they got trapped in from all my stirring?

Annie,
I made this exact recipe, they were so hard and thick you couldn’t even bite into them!! Done exactly as the recipe, also for the person with sliding caramel, the reason the caramel slides off apples is they need to be washed to remove the wax that is on them. I was so disappointed that they were so hard, I cooked them to 245 degree’s not 248!! So thick, I think next time I will thin the caramel out and not cook it so long!! The taste is delicious if you can eat them.

These look so easy & yummy. The only time I’ve made some (with Kraft caramels — didn’t realize I could make that part!!!) was to give them away to teachers. I’ll have to make them again with my son to enjoy it for ourselves. I’d love all the extra toppings! Yum! Toffee!!
Have a blessed Thanksgiving!

Yours look great. Mine on the other hand. After two days (all wrapped to give away), lost all their carmel. What makes the carmel slide off. It happened last year and I made the carmel from scratch. This year I used carmel candies. Help!
