Ingredients

6 Gala Apples

4 Tbsp. Fresh Lemon Juice

Stick Pretzels

Caramels

1/4 Cup of Whipping Cream

Pinch of salt

Directions

Fill a large bowl with cold water and add lemon juice.
Wash & dry apples. Using a melon baller, scoop round balls of apples and place in the lemon water.
Once all of your apples have been prepared, remove from lemon water and dab dry with a paper towel.
Using a chopstick or other similar object, create a small hole in the top of each apple ball. Insert a small pretzel stick into each hole.
Serve with your caramel dip sauce.

For the Caramel Dip Sauce

Put caramel candies in a saucepan over low heat.
Once the caramel candies begin to melt, slowly start adding in the cream. The more cream you add, the thinner the sauce.
Using a whisk, combine the melted caramel and cream.
When the sauce is to your desired consistency and thickness, remove from the heat.
Add a pinch of salt and ready to serve.
