Even if we’re ready for it or not, autumn is coming! But think positive thoughts, because today we are sharing a favorite fall treat secret:
APPLES! {Not the secret…that part is coming up!}
Have you ever gone to pick the apples yourself? It’s so fun!
It’s also a great opportunity to teach your kids how to work {and then how to enjoy the work afterwards, we’ll show you how!}
Make sure you buy or pick enough! They are so crisp and juicy and they will DISAPPEAR, especially if you pair it with this…
Aunt Kay’s Buttery Caramel Sauce
Ingredients:
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/3 cup butter
2/3 cup whipping cream
*Makes 2 1/2 cups
In a medium saucepan combine sugars, syrup and butter.
Cook over medum heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a full boil, about 5 – 6 minutes.
Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes.
Stir in whipping cream.
Pour into a jar and store in refrigerator. It will thicken when cold.
YUMMY!
{Thanks Aunt Kay!}
I started out dipping apples in this sauce but ended up dipping my finger instead, I couldn’t seem to get enough! It reminds me of the Cheesecake Factory sauce that I always order on the side to go with any cheesecake.
*FYI: highly ADDICTIVE! I just ate caramel for breakfast! I dipped a banana in it, mmm. I am walking around the kitchen trying to find things to dip in this stuff! I am not sure if I should praise Aunt Kay or curse her for this most amazing caramel sauce!
Need another idea on what to do with all those APPLES?
Last fall we posted a DELICIOUS cobbler and apple sauce recipe.
Okay, autumn, you can officially begin!

I love this recipe and can’t wait to try it 🙂 I was born and raised in Florida and am currently working in Connecticut. I saw my first apple and pear trees last week. I was so excited !!!
I dont know what is sweeter the pics or the fruit
This is awesome.
And you gals are awesome. Great idea.
At least you are dipping fruit into the caramel sauce. It looks so good I think I’d be tempted to go at it with a spoon! Thanks for sharing your Aunt’s recipe!
So will this “harden” to cover apples on a stick then store in clear plastic gift bags or is it really for dipping apple slices? Either way, it sounds scrumptious.
Incredibly delish, I used the end of a jar of caramel ice cream topping last week and said to my husband, “Apples are good if you…”
“Dip them in sugar first ?~!” he asked me, laughing.
Yep, guess so, huh !~!
Thanks for the recipe tho I’ll make it somewhere this season. Mmmmm.
