Halloween with Caramel Apples

After picking and consuming too many apples this weekend, and spotting the recent posting on one of my favorite blogs, I couldn't image not celebrating Halloween without a few caramel apples. Simple and straight to the point, it didn't even matter that they weren't the most gorgeous of specimens (let's hope the next batch gets a little better!) because they tasted delicious! 

Apple Picking

This weekend I was able to check off one of the many "to-dos" for living in San Diego - apple picking in Julian. The weather was absolutely perfect (apparently we missed the fog back home) and after a five hour hike avoid some cow road blocks, the rest of the afternoon was spent indulging in what Julian is known for most - apples. Our bag was filled to the brim with sweet apples (all of which we tried a few too many times) and then spent eating three types of apple pie a la mode.

Now my only problem is what to do with all these apples....got a great idea from Cupcakes & Cashmere...
