Creepy Caramel Apples
Ingredients:
5 Ripe, Red Apples
1 lb. Soft Caramel

Begin by washing the apples and removing their stems. Stick the wooden skewers securely into the stem end of the apple. Boil some water in the bottom of a double boiler. Place caramel in the top of the double boiler with the water. Place the top pan over the boiling water. Stir the caramel gently as it warms until it is completely heated and smooth. Remove caramel from the heat. Dip apples one at a time into melted caramel to coat them. Place in cupcake paper. Chill in the fridge until the caramel is set.
