When is National Caramel Apple Day?
Tuesday October 31stOn October 31st, a time-honored fall treat will be commemorated. Several of us recall eating caramel apples or making them with family. It was a unique treat whether it was at a fair, carnival, or Halloween party. We even made them at home. The memory is a good one no matter where we enjoyed them.

Caramel apples go by many names – taffy apples or even candy apples. They're made by skewering apples on a stick and then dipping them in hot caramel. We make them extra delectable by coating them with nuts, chocolate, or other candies.
Sheet caramel is used for candy apple production in the United States. The apples are wrapped around the apples and then warmed to melt the caramel evenly. Apples that are not tart crisp apples, such as Granny Smith or Fuji apples, make the best caramel apples. Since apples are back in season in the fall, Halloween is the perfect time of year to enjoy caramel apples.
The caramel-apple flavor is also a fall favorite. It makes its way into beverages, cakes, and other desserts.. For a touch of caramel apple flavor, add caramel to just about every apple dish. It also works well with savory dishes, such as pork.
