Well, you will have to ask Country Living how they did it. I have no idea. However, if you want to learn how to make delicious caramel apples in which the toppings all slide off into a big hot mess…well then, you have come to the right place!
Step 1: Since you don’t like the looks of the smallish craft sticks you have, grab some pencils from the junk drawer. They look cuter than craft sticks anyhow! Take a hammer and gently tap them into place. If you get a little over-exuberant in your tapping and smash an apple to smithereens, no worries. You have another one. Just start again.
Step 5: Congratulations. You just won a fight with a fruit and consumed about a pound of calories in the process. Well done.
Step 6: Go blog about it so the world will know who the real fruit is! Check out Transformation Thursday for some real transformations that don’t involve fruit…or fruitcases.

I am laughing so hard from this post:) Been there done that so now I just eat a whole bag of M&Ms while reading Country Living and looking at all their trick photos:) A whole lot less stressful on my nerves:)

you silly girl!
love these! i literally just made my batch of apples an hour ago for our block party this weekend. caramel/chocolate apples are so FALL!
and yes, i think i gain a pound or two while i was on the assembly line!
These look so fun and festive! You did a super job and now I want to sample alllll the candies!
I love it!! I just wanted to share a little trick to keep the caramel on… sand the apples with fine grit sandpaper. Or be lazy like me and just dip apple slices in the store bought caramel!
Yummo…you've got me craving caramel apples now! And I'm off to the store, so I may just pick up some. Thanks of sharing!

Yum, Yum, Yummy!
By the way, I think that when the toppings stay on perfectly, you definitely didn't do it right. 😉

P.S. While the pencils for sticks freaked me out at first, I am digging the idea!

Well, I do notice that only the bottoms of the Country Living apples had been dipped in candy. Still, any excuse to eat m&ms!
Thanks for the good belly laugh this morning. That's pretty much been my experience too with the apples. But they look DELISH!
Beth,
I'm new to you blog and haven't commented yet but wanted to let you know that you are HILARIOUS! Thanks for making me laugh out loud daily.
