an apple a day, keeps the doctor away

Last year for christmas I made caramel apples - I know, I know its for Halloween treats, but I had just experimented making them a few days before the holidays and liked them so much I thought I'd share the sweetness with everyone.

During ordinary days when I crave for some sweet, tart treats I make caramel apples but slice them up and pop them in the fridge to cool - ready for snacking after I finished my chores.

Caramel Apples Slices

ingredients:
- 2 green apples
- lemon juice
- 2 to 3 tbsp milk
- 6 to 8 caramels
- chopped nuts
- chocolate morsels

how to:
- slice the apples and toss in lemon juice to prevent discoloration and arrange in a serving plate, set aside
- melt the milk and caramel in a bowl on top of a double boiler, add more milk or caramel depending on the consistency you want
- drizzle on top of sliced apples, top with chopped nuts and chocolate morsels. Chill until ready to serve

 tart, sweet, crunchy and chocolately


what a sweet way to get your daily serving of fruit!

caramel apples!!!

... I grew up in a country where Halloween isn't really celebrated with all the hoopla of jack-o-laterns, halloween parties and trick or treating... the highlight of my childhood halloween was a contest amongst us kids on who can make the biggest ball of wax from candle drippings and the occasional scary story... ...  6 Granny Smith apples 6 wooden sticks 1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped 2 tablespoons water 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 tablespoons coarse sea salt 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
