Rinse
and dry 5 apples of your favorite variety, { I prefer Granny Smith or
the Fuji varieties
}. Insert a
craft or Popsicle stick halfway into the stem end of each apple. Line a
baking sheet with plain parchment paper or wax paper that has been
generously coated with butter.
In a
bowl set into a pan of simmering water, combine 14 ounces { about 55
pieces and if you can find dark caramel, add 10 of the dark } of unwrapped soft caramels and 1 tablespoons
of water. Stir frequently
until melted and smooth.
Holding
the stick, dip each apple one at a time into the caramel about
three ~ quarters of the way. Swirl to coat evenly.
Hold
stem side up and use a knife to scrape excess caramel from bottom of
each
apple back into bowl. Place apples on the parchment paper sprinkled with
sugar or buttered waxed paper sprinkled with sugar and refrigerate until caramel is firm, about 5 minutes.
Place 10 ounces chopped white
chocolate into medium bowl and set into pan of boiling water { remove
from heat } or microwave 40 seconds. Stir frequently until
chocolate is melted and smooth.
Dip the
bottom half of each apple into the chocolate, turning to coat evenly. Hold
stem side up and use a knife to scrape excess chocolate off the bottom of
apple and back into bowl. Place each coated apple on the parchment paper
or buttered waxed paper and refrigerate until chocolate is slightly set,
about 10 minutes.
Place
about 1 cup finely chopped almond toffee candy { such as Almond Roca } on
a plate. Roll bottom third of each apple in toffee pieces to coat.
Refrigerate until chocolate is firm, about 15 minutes.
