In a crockpot, combine caramels and water. Cover and cook on high for 1 to 1-1/2 hours, stirring frequently.
Wash and dry apples . Insert stick into stem end of each apple. Tum control on crockpot to low. Dip each apple into hot caramel and turn to coat entire surface. Holding apple above pot, scrape off excess caramel from bottom of apple. Place on buttered wax paper to cool
Once caramel has set, you may wish to roll apples in the toppings of your choice, such as nuts, M&M's, mini chocolate chips or candy decorations. Makes 8 caramel apples. Enjoy!
