Caramel Apples

6 apples
1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
2 tablespoons milk
1 c. chopped nuts

Remove the stem from each apple and press a craft stick into the top. Butter a baking sheet. Place caramels and milk in a microwave safe bowl, and microwave 2 minutes, stirring once. Allow to cool briefly.

Roll each apple quickly in caramel sauce until well coated. Place on prepared sheet to set. Sprinkle with chopped nuts.

The caramel coating is very gooey, so refrigerate the apples for about 15 minutes, or until the caramel has firmed up.

Serves: 6
