Creating Caramel Apple Grapes is a simple process if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Grapes: Wash the grapes thoroughly and dry them using a clean towel. Ensure they are completely dry for the caramel to stick.
2. Make the Caramel: In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and butter over medium heat. Stir until the mixture melts and turns a light golden color.
3. Add Cream: Carefully pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously. The mixture will bubble up, so take caution.
4. Season the Caramel: Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, mixing until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
5. Dip the Grapes: Using a skewer or toothpick, dip each grape into the caramel, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow any excess caramel to drip off.
6. Cool the Grapes: Place the caramel-coated grapes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow them to cool and set for about 30 minutes.
7. Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle crushed nuts, sprinkles, or drizzle melted chocolate over the grapes while the caramel is still soft.
8. Serve: Once the caramel has set, your Caramel Apple Grapes are ready to be enjoyed!

These simple steps will guide you in creating this incredible treat effortlessly.
