Dried Apples

Dried Apples

specs on dried apples?


i bought some dried apples the other day and they have all these odd brown little specs on them. not on the fruit, but stuck to the fruit like you can rub them off(this'll sound really paranoid, but they look almost likesome kind of insect egg). my dad said he thought it was pectin, but i was just wondering if it's anything i should be worried about. i doubt it though. anyone know what they could be? thx in advance. =)
it's definately not cinnamin. it's like little clearish amber balls that stick to your hand if you touch them that are a little smaller than the dot of an i

Are they flavored? It sounds like cinnamon to me.

How to Make Funny Caramel Apple People for your Fall Parties

Fall brings harvest time, Halloween, football, and many other occasions for partying.  This year make a special treat that the kids will love--that's kids from 2 to 102!  Make your own Funny Caramel Apple People.  This is a fun project to do with the kids.  In fact, depending on the ages of the children involved and your patience, this is a good make-your-own party project.  The kids will love designing their own funny people!  Again, we are talking about kids of all ages, wink, wink.

FUNNY CARAMEL APPLE PEOPLE

8 wooden sticks
8 medium apples
1 pkg (14-oz) caramels
2 tbsp water
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
gumdrops
lifesavers
narrow licorice strings

Wash and dry apples. Push a wooden stick into the stem end of each apple; set aside.

In a large (4-cup) glass measuring cup combine the caramels and the water. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 2 minutes. Stir with a rubber spatula and cook on high another 30 to 60 seconds or more until caramels are completely melted. Stir until smooth.

Put the mini chocolate chips on waxed paper; set aside. Dip each apple into the caramel mixture using a spoon to spread the caramel evenly over each apple. Hold the apple over the caramel while doing this so the excess caramel can drip into the cup. Dip the bottom of the apples into the chocolate chips for hair. Use the gumdrops for eyes, noses, etc. The lifesavers make great ears and/or mouths. Narrow red licorice strings make good mouths, black make a good handlebar mustache.

Note: Candy corn could also be used for eyes, nose, jack-o-lantern mouths, especially for Halloween parties. Chopped nuts would also make good hair. For grandma and grandpa, white chocolate chips could be used for grey hair. Butterscotch chips could be used for blond hair. Use your imagination and have fun.

Enjoy!
