This past weekend my son and I made Caramel Apples.. We had gone to an Apple Festival
in the beautiful mountain town of Hendersonville North Carolina. I loved it there. We decided we would get some apples and make them into something yummy. I found a recipe that was a little different..
Melt your bag of caramels first with 2 tablespoons of water on the stove. Then dip your apples in the caramel.. Heat the caramel slowly as it burns easily. Then take about 2 cups of pretzels that have been crushed and roll the apple around in them.. When this has cooled drizzle some milk chocolate on top.. (I used milk chocolate chips). This is so yummy..
I am sneaking this into the Shabby Tea Room's Challenge.. Inspired by Nature or Green
Don't forget I have blog candy.. HERE..
Mmmmmmm, I wish I were at your house enjoying some of those delicious looking caramel apples! What a beautiful card to go with it as well. Your a good momma to do that with your son ;D
ReplyDeleteYummy! I miss apple festivals. We had it in GA, but none here in FL. I have never thought about crushed pretzels on the apples, sounds and looks so good!
ReplyDeleteMmmm thats making me hungry :) Your card is fabulous too.
