What is National Caramel Apple Day?
On October 31st, the time-honored fall treat of National Caramel Apple Day is commemorated. Many of us remember eating caramel apples or making them with family. It was a special treat whether it was at a fair, carnival, or Halloween party. We've even made them at home. The memory is a good one, no matter where we enjoyed them.

Caramel apples go by many names, including 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 allows for the high production of candy apples. The apples are wrapped with caramel sheets and then heated to melt the caramel evenly. The best caramel apples are made with tart crisp apples, such as Granny Smith or Fuji apples. Since apples are 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's making its way into beverages, cakes, and other desserts. For a hint of caramel apple flavor, add caramel to just about every apple dish. In addition, it complements savory dishes, such as pork.
