Apples Galore!

So....what do you do with all of the apples that you come home with 
after an afternoon of apple picking with three kids???? 


Can you believe that this is not all of them???


 Healthy snacks - yes, of course.  Apple pie?  Good option.  
Caramel Apples?  YES!!!!


Caramel Apples


The kids had a blast making these and it was very quick and easy to do.


Melt approx. 15 oz of caramel squares in a glass measuring cup with 1 tbs. water.  Stir at 30 second intervals to prevent burning.  Meanwhile, stick lollipop sticks into clean, dry apples.  Place toppings on a shallow plate or in a bowl.  When the caramel is melted, dip the apples inside.  Use the back of a spoon to wipe of any excess caramel.  Quickly roll in the topping, making sure to press gently.  Let cool on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper (lightly spray paper with cooking spray to prevent sticking).  And Voila!  Caramel apples for dessert!
