CARAMEL APPLES ON STICKS

2 bags (14 ounces each) caramels, unwrapped
1/4 cup water
8 to 10 medium apples, washed and dried
Sticks
Waxed paper
Granulated sugar

Ideal Slow Cooker Size: 2-quart

Combine caramels and water in slow cooker. Cover. Cook on High for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring every 5 minutes.

Turn cooker to Low. Dip apple into hot caramel, turning to coat entire surface. Holding apple above cooker, scrape off excess accumulation of caramel from bottom of apple. Dip bottom of caramel-coated apple in granulated sugar to keep it from sticking. Place apple on a greased waxed paper to cool.

Makes: 8-10 servings
