Start by scrubbing 5 small red apples – any kind you like. I, uh, well I got a bit carried away and came home with more apples than I know what to do with. This takes the classic caramel apple up a few thousand notches and was the perfect way to use up the bounty of apples we picked at the orchard a few weeks ago. I cannot tell you how delicious the combo of crispy apple, smoky bourbon, sweet caramel, and crunchy pecans is. Here’s the scoop – 4 ingredients, 15 minutes, seriously sinister. I’m partnering with Fisher Nuts again this year and developed the recipe, which is inspired by my favorite fall drink Ginger + Apple + Bourbon, to highlight their preservative-free pecans halves and update a classic fall treat. I promise I haven’t just finished eating one of these boozy delights, I’m just well, delighted, with how the sticky, sweet, and risque caramel apples kissed by crunchy pecans came out. (Nose firmly in place over face paint in pic below!)ĪNYWAY EASY BOURBON CARAMEL APPLES WITH PECANS – MUWAHAHAHA! Why nobody, especially my Mom who was inches away from it while applying face paint, didn’t see it, I’ll never know. Guess what I found as I reached up to adjust my bunny ears before the flash? That damn plastic bunny nose! It had been making my nose sweaty (no nose holes, y’all) so I’d put it on top of my head to air things out while I was finishing getting ready and totally forgot. Well, we were getting down to the wire – 10 minutes ’til go time – and I could not find that dang bunny nose anywhere! We searched high and low but no dice. Luckily one of my brothers dressed up as like, I don’t know, a zombie that year and had leftover face paint so my Mom quickly applied a black nose, white mouth, rosy cheeks, and whiskers, and then huddled all of us together to take a picture. Anyway, one of my most favorite memories of Halloween as a child was dressing up as a bunny rabbit when I was maybe six, complete with a plastic bunny nose attached to a string that covered my entire nose but stopped just above my mouth so I could breathe. TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT? We are fun people, I promise. Who says trick-or-treating ghosts, ghouls, and goblins should have all the fun this Halloween? That’s right, I’m giving everyone’s fall and Halloween favorite, caramel apples, a dizzy, adults-only spin by spiking ’em with bourbon – yeehaw!Ĭan we talk about how much I love Halloween, by the way? I haven’t celebrated in costume in years – I think the last time was when Ben and I dressed up like Shawn Johnson and Bela Karolyi (HAHAHA,) in 2008.
