And once you've picked your apples handle them with care so as not to create any bruises yourself. Next, pick Up a bag of Kraft caramels. It's important to wash and dry the apples in a mild soap solution before the dipping process begins to remove their natural waxy coating. This step cannot be skip­ ped or when the dipping starts the caramel will slide right off the ap­ ples. While the kids are busy washing and drying, assemble the everyday kitchen utensils you will need: 1% quart heavy saucepan, spatulp, wooden spoon, wax and cookie sheet.
