OREO Caramel-Dipped Apples
You can never have too many hor d'oeuvre recipes, so give OREO Caramel-Dipped Apples From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes roughly 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Instructions
Wash apples, then dry completely. (Note: In order for the caramel sauce to stick to the apples, the apples need to be well chilled before washing, drying and dipping in the caramel sauce.)
Insert wooden pop stick into stem end of each apple. Cook caramels and water in saucepan on medium-low heat until caramels are completely melted, stirring frequently.
Dip apples, 1 at time, in caramel, then spoon enough of the remaining caramel over apple until coated.
Roll in chopped cookies, pressing cookies gently into caramel to secure.
Place on waxed paper-covered baking sheet; let stand 25 min. or until caramel is firm.
Melt chocolate as directed on package; stir in food coloring. Cool 15 min.
Drizzle over apples; let stand 10 min. or until firm.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Remove apples from refrigerator 15 min. before serving. (Note: Caramel apples can be refrigerated up to 2 days before serving.)
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Madeira, Prosecco

NV Solera Cream Sherry
The Solera Cream Sherry has a brilliant amber and deep copper hue. With butterscotch and pecan aromas, the sweet salted nut and brown spice aromas carry a complex caramel accent. A sweet entry leads to a rounded, lush, moderately full-bodied palate with a lengthy, flavorful finish.
