Recipe: Carmel Apple Dip
Are you looking for a simple and tasty apple appetizer? All you have to do is wash the apples. Core out the middle of one of the apples. Put 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in the middle and swish it around making sure the entire inside of the apple has been coasted with lemon juice (the lemon juice helps prevent the apple from browning). Pour caramel dip in the center of the apple and serve with fresh apple slices.
You can either buy the already made caramel dip or melt caramels according to the package directions. Make sure the caramel is cool before pouring it into the apple “serving” bowl. This recipe is simple, easy, and delicious. A perfect Fall treat to share with family and friends!
Fall Festivities – Pumpkin Carving
Our family enjoys celebrating the different seasons, Holidays, and events throughout the year. It has been a blast going to a variety of family friendly Fall Festivals in our area. The weekends are full of horse back riding, playing in the leaves, hayrides, bonfires, pumpkin carving and all the other fun activities while creating wonderful memories with the family.
The girls have been asking for over a month to carve pumpkins and since they were on sale recently ($3.99 for a 12 ++ pound pumpkins at BiLo) we decided to have a family night together. We had a great evening of carving pumpkins, roasting the pumpkin seeds, drinking hot apple cider and eating caramel apples. Daddy free handed the designs the girls drew out on the disposable table cloth. Everyone had a blast!
