3-D Thankful Apple
-
Cut red, yellow, or green paper into strips 1/2 inch (or 1.25 cm) wide, cutting along the short side of the paper.
-
Glue the middle of the strips together, crisscrossing them so they make a star shape. Write something you are thankful for on each point of the star.
-
Turn the star over so the words are facing down. Then glue the ends together to form a ball.
-
Add leaves and a stem. Now put your apples somewhere to remember what you’re grateful for!
Mini Candy Apples
3 large apples
1 pound (454 g) chewy caramel candies
1/4 cup heavy cream
toppings (like crushed nuts, coconut, or pretzel crumbs)
toothpicks
-
With a small melon baller or spoon, scoop out round balls from the apples and pat dry. Insert a toothpick into each ball.
-
Put the caramels and cream in a pan and cook on low heat. Stir occasionally until smooth.
-
Dip each apple ball completely into the melted mixture. Then dip into ice water for 6 seconds.
-
Dip the apple ball into your topping of choice and pop it into your mouth!
