I was surprised at how many pictures and recipes I have found of apples when it comes to entertaining. When I was little...ahem...young, I remember the toffee apple man used to come around the estate on his bike when I lived in London. It was especially at Bonfire night and that memory contributes to many that I have of autumn, which is probably why it is my favourite season. *Ü*
So...on to the apples.
These delicious ones look rather complicated to make, although I am more inclined to want to try making them.
These caramel ones look impressive...although they do look like chocolate! With - or without nuts.
I like the look of
these - black and red. The recipe is an American one, so if someone could interpret 'corn syrup', I would appreciate it. I am thinking that corn syrup would be clear. Is it the same as 'golden syrup'? I am not sure that if using golden syrup, the colours would turn out the same as these.
Back to Martha Stewart's website for something really fun....I LOVE these
shrunken head apples! LOL. They are in cider but apple juice could be substituted for children. There is also a video to watch how to make them.
Apples can be used as cups like here...
Last up...I like this idea...apple slices...so easy and healthy...the core cut out with a cookie cutter.
Have fun with your preparations.
Toots for now,

Love the idea of hollowing them out and using them as cups. A while ago, I saw some people (on the telly) carving aples like pumpkins... so pretty - but they had to keep dipping the apple in lemon juice mixed with something else to stop them browning.
I love apples, thinly sliced, and slow baked in a cool oven - like apple crisps... gorgeous!
Have you tried looking online for corn syrup? ... or could you make a clear sugar syrup and use colouring?
Glen then apple recipes look fab. What fun to have 'shrunken' heads LOL
Not able to help about the corn syrup - sorry.
