Ingredients
3 cups heavy whipping cream
8 cans La Lechera Dulce de Leche (Nestlé’s milk-based caramel)
4 bags of apples (choose crisp varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
20 wooden skewers
Toppings (Mix & Match!):
Crushed Thin Oreos
Ice cream-style peanut topping
Mini Reese’s Pieces
Mini M&Ms
Festive sprinkles
Crushed pretzels
Shredded coconut
Melted dark or white chocolate drizzle (optional twist!)
Instructions
Prep Apples: Wash and dry apples thoroughly. Remove stems and insert wooden skewers firmly into the tops.
Warm the Caramel: In a saucepan, combine heavy cream and dulce de leche. Stir over low heat until smooth, thick, and glossy (about 8–10 minutes).
Dip Apples: Tilt the saucepan and roll each apple in the warm caramel, coating evenly. Let excess drip off.
Add Toppings: Roll or sprinkle your toppings onto the wet caramel right away. Get creative with combos like Oreo + M&Ms or coconut + dark chocolate drizzle!
Set & Serve: Place apples on a parchment-lined tray. Chill for 15–20 minutes to set.
