on 10/30/2008 You may have bought store-bought apples that have wax on them....if you can't get them at a local orchard, etc., very quickly dip the apples that are wax-coated in very warm water. They can't be exposed to the heat long! Do this quickly and immediately wipe the wax off. Try again and see if the caramel slides off. Good luck!

on 10/13/2008 This is a stupid way of doing this. Use a deep container to melt the carmel, Use a deep bowl for applying nuts,sprinkles,etc. Carmel will slide off if it isnt melted enough, which is what we have in this video. I make bunches of these daily for an up-scale in store bakery where I work.

on 11/22/2005 If you put wax paper on the cookie sheet before you place the apples into the fridge, the apples should pop right off when chilled and it'll save on clean-up time too!
