A fall tradition that dates back to the nascent days of our country, caramel apples are quite the fall treat. They are relatively easy to make and offer a blank canvas for you to put your own spin on as your heart (and taste buds!) desires. Here are a few recipes for you to use for your inspiration this year. Enjoy!
Classic Caramel Apples
You just can’t beat a tried and true classic. With this recipe, you can enjoy as-is or as your baseline for adding twists and variations. It’s yours to make your own, however you see fit! Here is a great recipe for you to start with.
Chocolate Covered Caramel Apples
This is a simple variation that will have your guests obsessed with their new chocolate and caramel addiction. Most variations on this recipe call for creating a classic caramel apple, and then dipping it again (once cooled) into a ready chocolate sauce for the ultimate indulgence. We found a great recipe for you to try.
Nut Covered Caramel Apples
You can do a fun variation on caramel apples with this one! Just start with the basic caramel recipe and then chop up some of your favorite nuts and seeds and start rolling! Roll half in chopped walnuts and the other half in sesame for a toasty, salty twist! The sky's the limit.
White Chocolate Peppermint Apples
What if you took the caramel out of caramel apples? This recipe is a fantastic variation on a classic favorite. You will just need some white chocolate bark, a slow cooker (or microwave), and your favorite toppings. We recommend a few:
- Sprinkles
- Peanuts
- Peppermint bits (like a peppermint bark for Christmas!)
- Cashews
- Raisins
- Caramel (if you make a white chocolate apple, you can freeze it for 2 hours and then dip it again in melted caramel and then pop it back in the freezer for another two hours and you will have a delicious double dipped treat! Top with nuts or sprinkles.
- Reese's Pieces
Caramel Apple…. Pie!
This last recipe is a huge hit around our house. While we love caramel apples, we go crazy for a fresh pie, especially a caramel apple pie. You can get the best of both worlds here all in one place. The neat thing is that if you’re feeling really adventurous, you can add your favorite toppings to a pie slice to make it really go off the flavor charts. You can use any type of apple you’d like, but we recommend Gravenstein apples. There are lots of places this recipe can go. Make it your own with a unique twist.
