Caramel and apple. A flavor pairing that dates back to the 1950s when caramel apples were invented by a Kraft Foods employee. Today, this flavor combination has gone well beyond apples on a stick (who has time for sticky chins, anyways), and is associated with fall festivals and country hayrides. From caramel apple bars to pies to French toast?there are never enough ways to enjoy this classic flavor pairing (the same cannot be said for pumpkin spice). So cozy up with a warm glass of cider and read on for 15 caramel apple desserts to indulge this fall.

Reviewer CINDYSI says, "Scrumptious! I love caramel apples but they can be a little hard to eat (not something you would serve at a party). Solution: the flavor of this recipe is very close to caramel apples, but it is easy to make and easy to serve to a group."

Chef John's Caramel Apple Pie

Chef John says, "To me, this is the purest and most intensely flavored apple pie recipe there is. The interesting thing about this recipe is the way the caramel sauce is poured over the apples and the lattice crust. You know how with a traditional apple pie some of the apple juices will caramelize as it bakes and bubble out of the pie and bake into and onto the flaky crust? That's how this whole pie is."
