To make these small balls, it is better to choose hard and crunchy apples.

Green apples work best.

When all the balls are ready, just put them on a sheet of baking paper and plant the lollipop sticks in them.

Kids love doing this part!

There you go, your mini caramel apples are already ready :-)

Easy, fast and so good, right?

These little caramel apple popsicles are super fun to make and so cute. The whole family loves them!

It is best to choose organic apples because apples are among the fruits largely contaminated by pesticides.

Additional advice

Do not keep your mini apples in the fridge because they tend to release water and the caramel to come off.

It is better to eat your mini caramel apples quickly because the sugar in the caramel will cook your little apples.

If you want to prepare your little apple balls a little in advance, dip them in lemon juice. This will prevent them from browning too quickly.

If you don't like caramel, know that you can use chocolate and hazelnut chips instead.

How to stick the caramel on the apples?

I must admit that our first batch didn't go very well!

All the caramel had completely dripped off the apples.

And this, even if I held them in the air for a while, turning them and letting them cool before putting them on the baking paper.

Luckily, here are my tried-and-true tips for getting caramel to stick well on apples:

- Let the caramel cool before dipping the apples. It should be a bit thick and not too hot.

- The apples must be at room temperature.

- Try to avoid leaving skin on the apples, especially if you choose non-organic apples. In fact, wax coats conventional apples to give them a shinier appearance.

You can also use this trick to remove pesticides from your apples.
