Step One: Take one big, "Yummy" brand Granny Smith apple
Step Two: Dip it in caramel
Step Three: Roll it in whatever takes your fancy *
Step Four: Smother it in chocolate, just for good measure
Step Five: Repeat after me - "An Apple a day keeps the doctor away"

WELCOME TO NZs NEW SENSATION OF CARAMEL APPLES!

Remember the old bright red toffee apples we used to get at school and church galas when we were kids, bash them against our front teeth to crack them, then eat only the outer toffee and chuck away the floury, bruised rest? Well these aren't them!

For a start these are nicer and the caramel is softer on your teeth. They are a big thing in the United States, known as Candy Apples, sold in gourmet confectionery shops and made on a more simpler scale by kids at Halloween as a Autumn treat.

These apples are made by me for you at order - GREAT for:

- Kids parties, either as table placings or party favours (who really wants to spend heaps on little goodie bags containing hokey plastic toys and squashed cake?)
- Weddings as table placings or wedding favours
- Other special occasions, baby showers, garden parties...
- Birthday, Thank-You or any other occasional gift
- Christmas presents
- Office shouts / Corporate gifts

Apples are wrapped in cellophane bags with decorative ribbon. Orders are taken and discussed for flavours, ribbon colouring, numbers and delivery. If large numbers are required (>20) an agreement can be made for discount.

Apples will last 2-3 weeks unopened in the fridge. Once opened, like any other apples should be consumed before it browns. Brushing with lemon juice and wrapping remainder in Gladwrap will slow natural browning process.

The easiest way to eat these delectable treats is slicing the apple up and eating the wedges. Eating off the stick, while ambitious, is not impossible.... :)

** NB: Apples will be ideally COURIERED rather than posted to ensure speed and safely of product, postage quote on asking. NOT "FREE POSTAGE" as in the column. I dont make my money on postage, if postage is less than quoted I will refund the difference. Happy to drop off in the Palmerston North area, or for pickup. I have found that posting, rather than couriering to the South Island is not only cheaper but still quite effective. Feel free to ask me any questions!
