Dulce de Leche Caramel Apples
A classic fall treat. Great for parties, these fun-to-eat apples are a special treat for kids of all ages.
Recipe Ingredients:
10 wooden craft sticks
10 large green apples, dried and stems removed (very important to wash well or dulce de leche will slide off)
1/2 cup finely chopped peanuts or salted roasted pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate mini morsels
2 (13.4-ounce) cans NESTLÉ LA LECHERA Dulce de Leche
Cooking Directions:
- Insert stick into each apple. Line trays or baking sheets with wax paper. Place chopped peanuts and chocolate morsels on separate plates.
- Place dulce de leche in medium, heavy-duty saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes or until smooth. Remove from heat.
- Dip apples all the way into dulce de leche, shaking off excess. Roll bottom halves of 5 apples in chopped peanuts and the bottom halves of remaining apples in chocolate morsels, then place on prepared trays. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until set. Store apples in refrigerator in airtight container.
Makes 10 apples.
