Some of my favorite things about fall are the seasonal foods and at the top of the list are Caramel Apples!  Loved them as a kid; love them now!  As a child I enjoyed a simple apple dipped in caramel.  Sometimes they had nuts on them.

Fast forward to today and the gourmet caramel apples in stores and bakeries have become works of art.  I scoured the net trying to find the best caramel apples for you to re-create at home.

Lazy Man’s Caramel Apples

If you just want the wonderful flavor combination of apples and caramel, there is always Marzetti’s Caramel Dip.  My step-kids used to love when I mixed the dip with a little sour cream.  It makes it easier to dip the apple in the mixture.

If you just want to serve sliced apples with the caramel dip, invest in apple cutter for uniform slices.  It cores an slices all at the same time.
