We drove to the mountains of Georgia a couple weekends ago and went apple picking. The picking is still nothing like our old spot in New York but we did come home with a bag overflowing with apples and the farm was the perfect place to spend a cool Sunday afternoon with the kids.
There's more apples here than the kids can munch on so, we decided to make some caramel apples! I came up with this kid-friendly version because really, who wants to pair kids + hot, sticky caramel together?
Things ended up pretty sticky, anyways. But, I peeled + cut up some apple slices, put a stick in each one, and dunked them in the caramel before setting them out for the kids. I also set out some toppings (mini m&ms, chocolate chips, sprinkles) and some chocolate dipping sauces.
The caramel didn't stick well to the peeled apples and they would have worked much better if I put them in the fridge for a while or left the peeling on.
But, look at that face! The kids thought it was the best thing ever.
