Caramel Pecan Apple Slices
Apple cider, caramel, cinnamon, pumpkin, nutmeg… these are some of my favorite flavors of fall. (oh yes, I’m talking about you, Pumpkin Spice Latte!) And what’s a better treat for fall than a yummy caramel dipped apple?
Caramel apples are so yummy, but they can also be very messy, especially when kids eat them. It’s all but impossible to eat a caramel apple without getting sticky hands. And we all know, kids and sticky hands are not a good combination, lol.
Solution? Pre-slice your apples and put them on a stick before covering them with caramel! (Something about food on a stick is a particular favorite for my kids. Like these S’mores on a stick or cake batter truffles on a stick – they just can’t get enough.)
Another great way to eat Caramel Apples? Grilled! As in this fabulous grilled caramel apple recipe.
The boys went on a weekend Boy Scout camping trip last weekend and my little missy was very disappointed that she wasn’t invited. (They do sometimes have “family trips,” but not this time.)
To cheer her up, we invited a friend over for a playdate and headed to the kitchen to make these caramel apple slices. They’re so easy!
How to make caramel apple slices:
I sliced the apples and put them on the sticks, then let the girls go to town dipping the apples into the melted caramel and sprinkling the pecans.
So much fun and yes, they taste as good as they look.
