From Our Recipe Box to Yours....Caramel Apples and Holiday Music

My youngest son and I had a stay home day the other day and he asked if we could make caramel apples. I'd never made them before but I said sure, why not. I wondered where he got the idea for caramel apples from, but was game to try. Turns out he read about them in a story at school. He was so excited, opening all of the caramels for our project and then when his brother and sister got home from school, making them up a snack plate, with our caramel apples on them. They may not have been the prettiest apples, but they were yummy and we had fun making them!! They were entertaining to eat, too!! You should try them!

Caramel Apples

1 bag caramels
2 T. water
5 popsicle sticks
5 apples, your choice (my fav are Braeburn)

Prepare a plate covered with wax paper. Butter the paper so the apples won't stick. Wash and dry your apples and insert the popsicle sticks next to the stem. Set aside. Open all of the caramels and add to a pan with 2 T. of water. Heat slowly until all of the caramels are melted. Dip your apples and spoon on where needed until all apples are covered. Place on plate and put in refrigerator for at least an hour. Don't let the apples touch or it will be a mess. Enjoy!!


Holiday Music starts this Sunday at 2:30 p.m. here @ the library. Come in and enjoy the sounds of Ms. Arthur and her piano students as they serenade us with music for the holiday season.
