caramel apple slices


I don't think I'm the only one that 
fully embraces the fall season when it is still
clearly summer .

not only have I started my daily pumpkin 
iced coffee habit, but I've already fully
transitioned into my fall wardrobe ( yes I wore a 
cowl neck sweater tunic when it was 80 degrees )
and have begun a list of autumn-inspired recipes
( read : roasted pumpkin seed brittle ) .
I love this time of year - the fresh smell of the air ,
crisp mornings , and cool evenings - but inside my apartment
fall also means warm candles, comforting meals , &
enjoying the company of good friends .

my friend melissa from college came over for dinner
last night, so for dessert I made these caramel
apple slices using halloween sprinkles - because I know
she'd appreciate the cute skull candies as much as I did .


granny smith, gala, & fuji apples .

soaking the apple slices in lemon not only adds 
amazing flavor , but also keeps them from browning .

instead of making homemade caramel ,
I cheated and melted down caramel squares
in a double boiler .

caramel squares + milk 

how cute are these sprinkles ... I can't

finished product !
