For best results, use a firm, tart apple variety such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith to balance the sweetness of the caramel. Ensure the caramel is fully melted and smooth before dipping the apple pieces for an even coating. Toast the walnuts lightly before chopping for a richer, more intense flavor. If you don't have a double boiler, a heatproof bowl set over a simmering pot of water works perfectly well. Store the candies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
