This is one of the reasons I love fall. There are so many delicious treats you can make with a simple apple. The idea for these caramel apples came from the "Autumn Treats" insert in the most recent issue of Country Living magazine. They were easy to make and look so sweet sitting out waiting for hungry mouths. These won't last long around here!
I bought the sticks at the craft store and just wrapped and tied ribbon around each one before inserting them into the apples. Then, I dipped the apples in caramel sauce and pressed the sprinkles or pumpkin seeds around the bottom half of the apple. Yum!
Those look so delicious! My kids just saw that pic and now they want to make them too!

Such a perfect photo. I love the ribbon on the sticks. A great way to dress them up! I always loved the looks of caramel apples but they are so darn hard to eat!
