Fall apple season is here! There are so many yummy things you can do and make with farm fresh apples, but one of my favorite is CARAMEL APPLES! They are so oooey and gooey and oh so good. This is an easy do it your self at home recipe that takes mini chew caramels and an apple and turns it into one of fall’s favorites.

This tutorial is from US at TwoHeartsTogether! So I hope you enjoy dont forget to comment

Ingredients Needed:

• 1 Green Granny Smith Apple
• 10 Mini Caramel Chews
• Spoon
• Stove Pan
• Halloween inspired sprinkles

Directions:

1. Unwrap mini caramels and set aside

2. Heat stove on medium high

3. Melt caramels in the pan on the stove until all melted. (This can be done in the microwave for easier cleanup)

4. DO NOT BURN THE CARAMEL! You will be sorry because it will turn black and taste of burnt sugar So be careful

5. Wash your apple and cut as desired. I used an apple corer from the dollar store

6. When the Caramel is to the right smooth consistancy, drizzle with a spoon over the apples

7. Time to sprinkle! Mine was a Halloween themed round set that was from Walmart

Over the weekend Jeff and I went to our favorite pumpkin patch farm on Sauvie’s Island! I grew up going every year with my family and since Jeff and I have been together we have gone every year together. There is much more to do than just pick pumpkins! The farm is famous for their big red barn that is filled with farm animals, 2 corn mazes (one which is haunted at night), a hay pyramid fun for climbing, food like hot corn on the cob and apple cider. Their main attraction is the free hayride that takes you out to the field to pick your perfect pumpkin fresh off the vine! The farm also feautres their fresh produce market that sells all organic produce from the farm itself and from other local farms around on the island. Below are some pictures we took from our visit this year.

My mood if officially feeling for fall. The weather in Portland has been CHILLY, especially at night. I have been able to pull out my scarves and wear socks for once! It feels nice to cozy up at night with a pumpkin candle burning and cuddle with my electric blanket.

For Jeff’s birthday he bought himself a NEW Camera! We were desperately in need of a new one, our old one broke a few months back and we are big picture takers so its been annoying not being able to catch the moments.

When we got the new camera we played around with it in our backyard with the beautiful fall leaves on the ground!

Below is a digi scrap page I made with the pictures we took in the backyard with the camera! The layout, papers, and elements were found on Scrappin with Ikea Godess the home of the digital freebies.
