Halloween 2026: Add The Fall Special

Caramel Apples

To Your Party Foods List

Halloween is most associated with the autumn season in the United States and with bingeing on spooky treats. One of them – the caramel apple – is a popular treat of the whole fruit dipped into molten caramel, and subsequently studded with or rolled in toppings. Most commonly relished as an amusement park novelty, it has since managed to become a common feature on party menus during the season. You can use any apples, but green apples are best as the caramel and other toppings compensate for the tart flavour of the apples. Granny Smith is the OG green apple variety cultivated for its sour taste, and in case you can't find this variety locally, try the Kashmiri Maharaji apples, which are initially very sour and sweeten with storage. Most apples have an invisible layer of wax coating on them; make sure to remove that first, using boiling water and rubbing the apple’s surface. Halloween 2026 will be complete with these caramel apples and will satisfy those who love their treats on a stick. Make them for your party or for yourself and loved ones this Halloween and relish their sweetness. The best part about this sweet treat is that you can customise their toppings once the caramel is layered on top of the apples.
