Every year since we've been married, Ryan and I make caramel apples around Halloween. It's sort of the first "Ryan and Sara Payne Family Tradition" that we ever started. This year we did it a few days after Halloween, and Ryan and I rotated between entertaining Isaac (he was not in the mood to cooperate with our family tradition) and dipping the caramel apples. I failed to get a picture of the completely finished product (they didn't stick around very long), but here are some in progress. We ended up making three different types: White Chocolate Cinnamon, Reese's Pieces, and Oreo. We took some to a get-together our friends had and the White Chocolate Cinnamon ones were the biggest hit. I could have eaten them all by myself, but it's a little early to be packing on the holiday pounds, don't you think? But hey, they are just apples, right? Apples are fruit. Fruit is good for you...besides, I only ate one...per day.

That is so fun. Clay and I started that tradition just this year on Halloween. And a delicious tradition it is!
You guys are such a cute couple, by the way.
I suppose now that we have a blog, I should read everyone elses' if I expect others to read ours. Brian usually gives me the CliffNotes version of everyones. Very cute stuff, IRS. I forgot about the apples. You gave us some last year. Not that we need anymore sweets around here, but they sure would of been welcomed!
those look so good, I didn't get to have one. I had yeast rising in me after all the dough I ate...gross. haha.
I asked Logan if he had one last night when I read this, and he went off, for like 5 minutes on how good they were. He had no idea y'all made them, otherwise he would've gone off to you for 5 minutes..haha.
What a fun tradition! I hope you're feeling better. I'm counting down until Monday.
What a fun family tradition! It's fun to find "your own" family traditions!
Soooo good! Austin kept trying to lick all the carmel off. I think we need to start the tradition too.
