caramel apple

Sticky fair treat

A caramel apple is a whole apple on a stick, coated in a layer of caramel candy.

A staple of fall festivals, Halloween, and county fairs: The kids got caramel apples at the harvest festival.

Sometimes rolled in nuts, sprinkles, or chocolate before the coating sets.

Also called a candy apple, though that term more often refers to the bright red hard-candy version.
