20 Gala or Empire apples
20 wooden sticks or skewers
Crockpot

1. Place the caramel pail in a crockpot. Place metal lids on the inside bottom of the crockpot to keep the plastic pail away from the hot crockpot.
2. Fill the gap between the pail and the crockpot with water.
3. Turn the crockpot on high for 5 hours.
4. Stir the caramel every hour, until soft and ready to dip.

6. Hold the top of the stick and press the apple into the hot caramel, until the apple is entirely covered.
