Caramel apples—get the kids involved!
Nothing says fall like a caramel apple. Kids love them and they happen to be healthier than
most treats. Apples are densely packed with fiber and nutrients. Here’s an easy way to do it:
1. Make sure the apples are refrigerator-cold. This will
help the caramel solidify.
2. Wash and dry the apples.
3. Insert wooden skewers, craft sticks, or chopsticks.
4. An easy way to make the caramel dip is to use a slow
cooker. Set the temperature to low.
5. Set up individual bowls of toppings. You can even
use a second slow cooker to melt chocolate, if you
want a chocolate caramel apple.
Try the following toppings:
Cracker jack style: After dipping apples in caramel,
roll them in peanuts and popcorn.
S’mores: kosher marshmallows, graham cracker
crumbs, melted chocolate.
Apple pie: sprinkle caramel dipped apples with cinnamon,
sugar and granola.
Tropical: sprinkle dipped apples with coconut flakes
and dried pineapple or mango.
Other ideas: crushed candies or cookies, and sprinkles
in your child’s favorite colors. Crushed Oreo cookies
are particularly pretty and yummy.
