Remember how much fun it was to make caramel apples? Well, here is that very easy recipe.

6 small apples
1 package caramels (14 oz.)
1/2 cup chopped nuts
6 popsicle sticks

Directions:

1) Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper. Empty nuts onto the paper and divide into six equal heaps. Leave as much space as possible between each heap.

2) Wash and dry the apples. Twist off the stems and push popsicle sticks half way onto the apples where the stems used to be.

3) Melt the caramels in the microwave or a saucepan over low heat.

4) Dip apples in the melted caramel to coat. Use a knife to help cover the whole apple. Place each apple, stick side up, onto a heap of nuts and roll over to cover.

5) Refrigerate until the caramel is firm, about 1/2 hour.
