I will admit that it is a bit sad that we made this cream Caramel Apples recipe this past week. When I start craving fall foods I know that summer is just about to end. The over nights have been getting cooler (making the pool take forever to heat up during the day). It really can be a bummer. To cheer myself up, I will be making some fun fall foods to enjoy over the next few weeks. I have already shared our yummy and Easy Pumpkin Ice Cream and also our fun Scarecrow Bars Recipe. I am excited to share more great fall recipes with you. Caramel Apples are one of my all time favorite fall foods. Last fall I made some and they did not turn out so well. I really love this Cream Caramel Apple Recipe.

Caramel Apples Recipe 1
A few Halloween Parties ago I ended up purchasing store bought caramel apples because the recipe I was using would never work (I think I tried it and modified 3 or 4 times). I was so bummed. This year I am looking forward to making this Caramel Apple Recipe. I know it will be a hit with my kiddos and family.
