Crock Pot Caramel Dip

1 (14-oz.) pkg. caramels

1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk

1 C. shredded coconut

1/2 C. pecan pieces

1 lb. cake, cut into cubes

2 apples, (1 green, 1 red) cut into slices

Place unwrapped caramels into slow cooker and add condensed milk, coconut and pecan pieces.

Cook on Low for 1 1/2 hours, stirring at the end of the first 30 minutes and again near the end of cooking time. When caramels are melted, the dip is ready to serve. You can keep it on Low for another couple of hours if it's stirred frequently. The recipe can easily be doubled if you need to make a larger amount; however, it will take slightly longer to melt the caramels to the proper consistency.

Cut apples into slices and pound cake into large cubes just before serving. Squeeze a little lemon juice on the apples to prevent them from turning brown. Place melted caramel in a serving bowl, surrounded by the apples and pound cake.

Serves 6.
