Directions

1. Give the apples a quick bath in boiling water with a touch of distilled vinegar. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil using the KitchenAid® 1.25L Electric Kettle. Place the boiling water in a bowl with the distilled vinegar. Dip the apples for 5 seconds, then use a slotted spoon to remove. Dry the apples thoroughly with a kitchen towel, then remove the stems and insert a sturdy stick through the center.
2. Prepare two baking pans by lining with parchment paper. Set aside.
3. Place the caramels and 1 tablespoon water in a small sauce pan set over medium heat and stir as they begin to melt. Preheat the KitchenAid® Precise Heat Mixing Bowl to 170°F. Once the caramel is melted, transfer it to the KitchenAid® Precise Heat Mixing Bowl, which will help keep the caramel at the right temperature for dipping.
