I Am A Big Fan Of Caramel Apples

We are approaching the end of summer and the beginning of fall in Illinois. Even though I really enjoy summer, I get excited about fall too. There are many amazing things about it including football, Halloween, hoodie weather, the leaves changing color, and so much more.

Also, in the fall I look forward to visiting the apple orchards in our area. It is my favorite fruit by far. Plus, we have some great ones to check out in our community. Of course, besides apples, they have other tasty selections like apple cider, apple donuts, and more.

I remember as a kid, my family taking a special fall road trip to an apple orchard each year. My favorite part was getting a caramel apple. They are so delicious. I still like them today. Nowadays, I order them without nuts and usually cut them off the stick
