Caramel apple
Caramel Apple
Caramel apple (pronunciation: /ˈkærəməl ˈæpəl/) is a popular treat often associated with fall and Halloween, but enjoyed year-round.
Etymology
The term "caramel apple" is a combination of the words "caramel" and "apple". "Caramel" is derived from the Latin word cannamellis, meaning "sugar cane", while "apple" comes from the Old English æppel.
Description
A caramel apple is a whole apple covered in a layer of caramel and then often rolled in a variety of toppings such as nuts, chocolate, or sprinkles. The apple is typically skewered with a stick or other implement, making it easier to hold and eat.
Preparation
The preparation of a caramel apple involves dipping a whole, often tart apple (such as a Granny Smith) into melted caramel, then allowing the caramel to cool and harden. Additional toppings can be added while the caramel is still warm and sticky.
