Nothing says Fall like caramel apples. Peanut Butter Caramel Apples take that idea a step further.
Here, I dipped Gala apples in a mixture of melted peanut butter and sweetened condensed coconut milk, then dipped them in either chopped peanuts, dark chocolate chunks, or shredded coconut. Some I left plain.
My favorite topping was the dark chocolate chunks. It was the least photogenic, but man was it good!

Tips
- When mixing the peanut butter and sweetened condensed coconut milk, only cook it until it simmers, then turn off the heat. You just want the mixture mixed and melted together.

- One by one, dip each apple into the mixture, then right away roll into the topping.
- You can heat the mixture some more if needed.
- For best results, let set overnight in the fridge to harden. Store in the fridge.
