Caramel and apples, because apparently, we can’t just leave well enough alone. Fall needs more than just pumpkins, right? Combine sweet apples, sticky caramel, and maybe a little whipped cream for good measure. This dessert will make you feel all kinds of cozy, or possibly guilty for eating a whole batch. But hey, it’s autumn, and you’re allowed a little indulgence. Who cares about calories when there’s caramel involved? So, grab an apple, pour on the caramel, and pretend you’re being healthy by eating fruit. Fall’s all about balance, right?
