Line a large rimmed baking sheet with waxed paper. Insert the sticks into the tops of the apples. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the caramels and water over low heat; stir continuously until melted. Spoon the melted caramel over the apples to cover completely. Place the coated apples on the prepared baking sheet and let set for a few minutes before serving. NOTE: We can enjoy these as is or fancy them up all sorts of ways.

For SPINKLE APPLES: Spoon 1 cup of melted semi-sweet chocolate chips over the just-coated apples, letting it run down the sides, then sprinkle with colored sprinkles and chill until ready to serve.
