Can we just talk about awesome Fall is? I am just loving the beautiful sunrises and sunsets this season. I am beginning to fell like fall is my new favorite season. Summer is a close second, but after sipping pumpkin lattes and enjoying the cool, crisp air and football, I have to say that I am in heaven. Now if it was just cool enough to wear a sweater.... we are not quite there yet, but I know it is coming.

Today I wanted to share with you a really easy method on how to make caramel for apples from scratch. Caramel and apples just go together any time of year and I recently made this sauce for a snack the other evening.

We have been watching a lot of football (and baseball recently) and there always has to be TV snacks. Fruit is always a good idea and sometimes it just needs a little sidekick to really elevate it.

This caramel sauce also makes a good glaze to pour over bread that are so popular this time of year. It is also good on ice cream and brownie sundaes, just sayin'!

timesaving tips to streamline recipes

  • To make it richer quicker, substitute evaporated milk for regular milk.
  • I would not recommend making this ahead of time, but if you do, keep refrigerated and warm up in the microwave to serve.

    Four ingredients for that kind of magic? Sign me up. I think there is absolutely nothing better than a simple caramel sauce and the freshly picked apples that we got last weekend at the Orchard.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
