National Caramel Apple Day is on October 31st in the United States. This delicious holiday is loved by many, if not all, people. It’s impossible not to be tempted by the mouth-watering fruits and caramel coating. You probably want to make one right now!
History
National Caramel Apple Day was created and sponsored by the confectioners’ association. The season was chosen for a reason – autumn is the perfect time to pick apples. They don’t need to be plucked from trees or climbed for, as the fruits usually fall to the ground. Apples are also made into cider, pies, and other dishes.
The dessert was invented by one of Kraft Foods’ employees. After an event, he was left with caramel and some apples. This led him to the idea of coating the fruits with caramel and seeing what would happen. We all know the result – a delicious treat that we enjoy today!
The most popular apple used in desserts today is Granny Smith. It has a tart taste and goes well with various combinations. Confectioners also experiment with other varieties, but they don’t have the same flavor.
