About

These delicious treats are popular at fairs and fêtes around the world. The buttery, chewy caramel contrasts well with the crisp apple, though eating these is a messy experience. Wooden dowels are sturdy enough to hold apples, and are available at hardware stores. Make sure there are no sharp points, especially when serving to children.
