Caramel Apples

As a teacher I sometimes think to myself, are the kids going to remember this 15 years from now? Here is a case of just that: In 3rd grade my class went and picked apples at Carrigan Farms and then we used the apples for all sorts of apple baking projects. One of these was caramel apples. I remember thinking it was the most fun I had ever had at school (maybe because it involved cooking?) and is one of the first things I remember when I think of third grade. So with this Thursday being our Halloween party (we're out on Friday) I'm pretty sure we're going to have to make some of these. I'm sure I can tie it into the Standard Course of Study somehow right???
