6 wooden skewers or ice cream sticks
6 med. apples
1/2 c. chopped nuts
1/4 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tbsp. water
1 (14 oz.) pkg. caramel candies

Insert skewer in stem end of each apple. Divide nuts into 6 mounds on waxed paper.

Heat chocolate chips, water and candies over low heat, stirring occasionally until candies are melted and mixture is smooth. Keep mixture over low heat. Dip each apple into chocolate mixture, spooning mixture over apple until completely coated. If mixture hardens while coating apples, heat over low heat. Place each apple on mound of nuts. Sprinkle loose nuts on top of apple around skewer.
