Notes
Nutrition facts are calculated based on using all of the ingredients in the recipe. The calculations are inaccurate because you'll be dipping into the caramel, white chocolate, and graham crackers - not consuming them in their entirety - but you'll need enough to dip the apples thoroughly. You may have enough to dip a fifth apple if you'd like, but it won't be as smooth as the others. Use liquid measuring cups to dip apples or a cup that is wide with tall sides so you can avoid having to use a spoon to fully coat apple. If you are serving apples already sliced, you can lightly rub the slices with lemon juice to avoid browning. Store uncut apples in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge for up to two days. Best served at room temperature. Make sure you are ready to complete a full step in the process (dipping the apples, coating the apples in chocolate, etc.) before you start. I know interruptions often happen in our lives but if you get interrupted in the middle of say dipping the apples in white chocolate, you won’t be able to add the graham cracker crumbs.Reheat the caramel or white chocolate in the microwave in the exact same way you originally heated it if the caramel or chocolate hardens too much to dip. This can happen if you take a break in the middle of the process – just reheat and start again!Store cut apples in an airtight container rubbed with lemon juice for a day before it gets too brown.
