Apples are full of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. This dessert is mainly an apple, so it stays relatively healthy even though it is covered in carmel.
You can also add other things like chocolate chips to the caramel apples, or you can dip some of them in chocolate!

ApplePreparation steps
1.
Wipe the apples well to remove any waxy coating - otherwise the toffee won't stick
2.
Remove the stems and put a stick in each stalk end.
3.
Heat the sugar, syrup, vinegar and water in a pan over a low heat until melted. Bring to a boil and cook steadily until a little of the mixture forms a soft crack when dropped into cold water; 280°F on a sugar thermometer. Remove from the heat.
4.
Dip the apples into the toffee, swirling them around until coated.
5.
Place on non-stick baking paper to set. Sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired.
