Wash the Granny Smith apples thoroughly with warm water to remove the wax.

Dry the apples completely with a towel, ensuring they shine.

Insert wooden dowels into the apples, placing them in the end opposite the stem, pushing halfway in without going through the apple.

Place the apples on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate them to cool.

For each bag of caramels, add 2 tablespoons of cold water. Since 4 bags are used, add 8 tablespoons of water in total.

Melt the caramels over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden or plastic spoon until it starts to melt.

Once the caramel begins to melt and becomes clumpy, continue to stir until it fully melts and becomes smooth.

Chop the salted peanuts using a food processor or blender, or by hand if preferred.
