7 or 8 med. apples
2 tbsp. butter
3 tbsp. water
1 pkg. of our golden caramel frosting mix
Chopped nuts, if desired

Remove stem and blossom end of each apple. Insert wooden skewers in stem end of apples. In top of double boiler over hot water, heat butter and water until butter melts. Stir in frosting mix (dry) until smooth. Heat over boiling water 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; keep caramel mixture over hot water.
