Caramel Apples: The Perfect Treat for Fall 🍁

Good morning, ladies! Thanks for stopping by! Well, would you believe I ran out of my dark roast coffee today and had to open a bag of medium roast? Oh, it’s all good, though, because my coffee machine has a feature that lets me brew a stronger pot. Yep, you guessed it! That’s EXACTLY what I’m doing at the moment! ☕

I’m just thankful I had ANY coffee in the house. Otherwise, I’d be walking around like a zombie! 🤣 I mean, that wouldn’t be a terrible thing considering we’re in the middle of October and Halloween will be here soon!

Speaking of October, there’s a quick little treat we used to make when my kids were younger, and that is caramel apples. So, that’s what we’re featuring on the blog today!

Now, I remember back in the day when my mom and dad would take us to a fair, carnival, or amusement park. I always enjoyed those hard, glossy-red, cavity causing candy apples!

Well, ladies, I could NEVER imagine biting into one of those today because I’m pretty sure I’d leave two or three teeth in that darn apple! LOL

So, let’s talk about a fall favorite: the caramel apple. These I can enjoy by cutting up the apples first. Again, Chelle Noelle isn’t biting directly into that sticky caramel! Oh no…not me! 🤣

All righty, no more waiting! I’m going to share a simple way to make this tasty treat. Here we go!

SIMPLE CARAMEL APPLES 🍎

INGREDIENTS

• 1 Wrapples© Caramel Apple Kit
• 5 medium-sized apples, washed and dried (any variety will work; I prefer McIntosh!)
• Optional toppings: mini chocolate chips, crushed nuts, crushed Oreos, toffee bits (like Heath Bar baking bits), mini M&M’s, etc.

DIRECTIONS

1. Line a small-to-medium cookie sheet with waxed paper.
2. Preheat your oven to 200°F.
3. Wash and thoroughly dry five apples.
4. Remove the paper sheets from the caramel wraps. If they’re difficult to remove, refrigerate them for one minute.
5. Press a caramel wrap over each apple, covering the top and sides. Stretch the caramel around the bottom if needed.
6. Place the apples on your wax-paper-lined cookie sheet.
7. Insert a wooden stick into the top of each apple.
8. Bake the apples on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes.
9. Add your favorite toppings, pressing them gently into the caramel or rolling the apple carefully while holding the stick.
10. Allow the apples to cool before serving.

NOTE: Store the caramel apples according to the package directions.

And there you have it! A simple fall treat that you can create with your favorite toppings!

These caramel apples bring back sweet memories of when my kids were younger. I hope you give them a try and enjoy adding your own personal touch!

And if you’re like me, don’t forget to cut that apple into pieces before eating it! LOL! 😂

Thanks so much for being here! I’ll see you tomorrow!
