Caramel Apple Pops
These are fresh scoops of tart apples dipped in warm caramel then rolled in candy, sprinkles, or cookies and served on a stick. Perfect for sharing, I hope you’ll give these adorable baby bites a try.

Total time
Author: The Squishy Monster
Serves: 6-12 Pops
Ingredients
- 1-2 unwaxed Granny Smith apple
- About a dozen caramel candies + sprinkle of salt + 1 tb cream/milk
- Lollipop sticks
- Assorted candies, sprinkles, crushed cookies
Instructions
- With a metal coffee spoon/melon baller, scoop out the meat from the apple. Blot dry.
- Wedge a stick into the tops of each ball and blot dry again. Keep in the freezer while working on the caramels.
- In a heat-safe cup, melt the caramels, salt, and cream in 30 second bursts. Stir and heat until melted.
- Work in batches and dry the balls again then dip into the melted caramel. Immediately roll in candies/sprinkles/cookies.
- Set each one in the freezer to set as you work on the rest.
A few tips/tricks:
- Use unwaxed, organic fruit {or scrub them clean before using}.
- Keep the scooped apples as bone-dry as possible. Any trace of moisture will encourage the caramel to slip off. Constantly blot the apples and try to keep some of its skin on each one.
- Work in batches, keeping both the un-dipped and dipped apples in the freezer.
- Allow the caramel to cool for 30-60 seconds before using.
- Eat immediately after the caramel sets up or keep in the freezer until ready to serve. These are not good the next day.
Love,
Your Squishy Monster ^.~
It says they are not good the next day. If you keep them in the freezer overnight would they be okay the next day?
Hi, Chris. You can definitely experiment but for me, they didn’t store very well.
An awesome idea! My grandchildren will love helping!
Thanks

Love the size of these pops, I may even sprinkle a bit of sea salt on some of the finished pops.

They look amazing and I would love to have one right now 🙂
These minis are PERFECT!!! I can now get my caramel apple fix without feeling guilty 🙂
Wow! These look adorable, really really cute. Loved your how to video too with such good tips like keeping all the moisture off before the carameling process. These would be such a great little thing to bring into work on those days when it’s your turn to bring morning tea.
What a cute idea making baby ones! These look wonderful! 😀
What a classic! You have made them so beautifully too!
it was caramel but Squishy wanted them to be chocolate salty apple balls instead! 😛 the power of chocolate! hehe …that is a fun and tasty idea!
Right? I seem to always have chocolate on the brain, Brain!
I have always wanted to try making my own caramel apples and yours look absolutely stunning! I love how gorgeous the coating looks and the sprinkles are so fun and festive! Can’t wait to try making this, thanks for sharing Angela 🙂
