1
Place the caramels and water in a microwave-safe bowl.

2
Microwave on medium for two and a half to four minutes stirring after one minute, or until caramels are melted completely. If you melt the caramels on the stove, put the caramels and water in a medium-sized saucepan over a medium flame. Don’t stop stirring until the caramels are completely melted.

Insert the popsicle sticks about three-quarters into the stem of each apple.

4
Dip your apples, while holding the popsicle sticks, into the caramel until they are completely covered. Let each apple drip the extra caramel off so it doesn't make a mess over the bowl.
-
5
Set the dipped apples on a platter with wax paper that has been greased with butter. This will keep the apples from sticking to the platter. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on them if you would like.

6
Refrigerate the apples for one to one and half hours before serving them.
