'[[Image:Caramel Peanut Candy Apples 2592px.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Taffy apple with peanuts]] '''Caramel apples''' or '''taffy apples''' are created by dipping or rolling [[apple]]s-on-a-stick in hot [[caramel]], sometimes then rolling them in [[nut (fruit)|nuts]] or other small savories or confections, and allowing them to cool. ==Production== Alternately, for the high-volume production of caramel apples, a sheet of [[caramel]] can be wrapped around the apple, followed by heating of the apple to melt the caramel evenly onto it. This creates a harder caramel that is easier to transport but more difficult to eat. Caramel apple production at home usually involves melting pre-purchased caramel candies for dipping, or making a homemade caramel from ingredients like [[brown sugar]], [[butter]], and [[vanilla]]. Homemade caramel generally results in a softer, creamier coating. In recent years, it has become increasingly popular to decorate caramel apples for holidays like [[Halloween]]. Methods used to do this include applying candies or nuts to softened caramel, dipping cooled, hardened apples in white or milk [[chocolate]], or painting designs onto finished caramel apples with [[white chocolate]] colored with [[food coloring]].<ref>Decorating Caramel Apples: http://www.divinedinnerparty.com/caramel-apple-recipe.html</ref> Classically, the preferred apples for use in caramel apples are tart, crisp apples such as [[Granny Smith]] or [[Fuji (apple)|Fuji]] apples. Softer, grainy-textured apples can also be used, but are not preferred.
