the flavor on these was awesome.

I found that just scrubbing the apples was not enough to remove the wax and get the caramel to stick but but I heard that you can boil the apples a few at a time for 30 seconds and then rub with a paper towel and that worked great!

I sprayed pam on the wax paper to avoid sticking.

It made more than 8 apples and mine were large.
I used the leftover caramel to make a turtle cheesecake.

This was very easy to make and the flavor was much like toffee - brittle and very delicious. I made it with Fuji apples which had a wonderful flavor with the caramel and stayed white for quite a long time. We rolled them in crushed pretzels, which added a wonderful crunch and flavor contrast. BUT, do not use waxed paper! They will stick.

I wanted to make caramel apples for Xmas last year, so I tried 3-4 of these recipes, and this one was by far the best. Best caramel consistancy and flavor.

I used to work at a candy shop where they made homemmade caramel apples and these are easier and just as yummy. Those people having problems getting the caramel to stick may have not scrubbed the apples well enough. The growers sometimes put a waxy film on them to kepp them fresher longer. Another problem may be that the caramel is too hot, let it cool for a few minutes and then try again. Overall this recipe was good. My kids enjoyed it too!

Too eliminate having the caramel slip from the apple, try washing the apple with hot water or dipping it into hot water. Dry the apple and see if this doesn't eliminate the slipping caramel problem.

OK, bought oragnic, unwaxed apples. Washed, dried, etc. Caramel still slid off. My kids thought the flavor was "ok" but not like they are used to. I ended up putting these in the fridge untill they set, and then I reformed the caramel up and around the apple. Not pretty but at least it worked. Caramel was really sticky. Would definetely recommend spraying the wax paper with cooking spray before placing apples on them. Got some paper stickage when I tried to pull them off. Still looking for the way to make the caramel stay put. Anyone know how Rocky Mountain Chocolate Company does it??? Their apples are the best we've had.

Dump, swirl, dip--what could be easier? I used the nut/ginger/cranberry topping and a vanilla cookie topping and people liked both. In fact, one person wants me to give him a quote for making a few dozen of them for a camp-related event. Until I made the recipes from this episode, caramel had never turned out "right" for me. The mixed-nut brittle and the caramel apple recipes are a godsend.

As many others have said, when dipping the apples into the carmel it slid right off. I followed the recipe exactly and it still wouldn't stick. I would not reccommend this recipe to anyone.
