Caramel Apple Slices

I know my kids wouldn't eat an entire caramel apple so I did slices and they loved them! I have also done fruit kabobs with caramel sauce on top with strawberries, grapes, apples and banannas.You just cut up your fruit and toss in your caramel and then put on a bamboo skewer.

This is a big recipe, so for slices you would need to cut it in half or more.

Homemade Caramel Sauce for Apples
1 1/2 tbsp. butter
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
6 tbsp. water
Popsicle sticks
8 to 10 apples

Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the brown sugar and water. Stir until it has a smooth consistency. Gently bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 3 minutes, until the pan's sides get steamy and the mixture is thin but somewhat sticky. Remove from heat. Pierce the center of each apple with a Popsicle stick, then swirl in the caramel syrup until coated. Place apples on a greased cookie sheet to harden. Refrigerate for at least 1 to 2 hours. Serves 8 to 10.
