We’re not sure if there’s any more quintessential fall treat than a caramel apple (apple cider and cider donuts may be a close tie). We asked our readers for their favorite and added our own to the list. Some you’ll find at apple orchards and pumpkin farms. Others are available at retail outlets throughout the area. We love that you can find the most simple to the fanciest right in our backyards.
Let us know if your favorite didn’t make it to this list; we’d love to add them!
