How do I Keep the Caramel from Sliding Off My Caramel Apples

Good Morning.  Just a quick post today.  I learned something new and wanted to share.  And surprise, surprise..it is food related and I got the tip from The Chew.  Carla Hall was making Crispy Peanut Butter Caramel Apples with peanut butter inside!  But, that was not the cool part.  When making caramel apples at home, most of the time, the caramel does not stay on the apple because of the wax coating on most store bought apples.  Her suggestion was to bring a small pot of water to a rolling boil, briefly submerge the apple in the water and then wipe off the wax with a paper towel. 

There was another site, www.simplykierste.com that recommends using fine grit wax paper to gently get off some of the wax, be careful not to take any of the apple skin.  She does not recommend rinsing and drying the apples again, but it seems like it might be a good idea.

Oh, and here is the link for Carla Hall's Crispy Peanut Butter Caramel Apples.  There is even a video to demonstrate how to make them.
