Over the years, I have discovered that apple desserts are always big crowd-pleasers. Whether in pie, pancakes, or eaten plain, the fruit has large audience of devoted fans. When fresh apples start to appear at the farmer’s market, I get excited. Although these apples are often small and misshapen when compared to their supermarket cousins, they wow us with flavor.
Biting into the first fall apple forces your lips to pucker, with juice running down your chin. I always wonder why I eat apples during any other time of the year, as they just don’t taste the same.
When thinking of another dessert for the Thanksgiving table, I decided to feature the apple in a classic–caramel apples. With Heidi’s homemade honey caramel, an extra pinch of sea salt, and a sprinkling of roasted peanuts, these were just as popular as the pumpkin pie.
