Easy Pumpkin Dump Cake

Six Sisters Stuff!  Thank You!

I LOVE when the UPS man comes and brings me a package. It is really one of my most favorite things! Well my husband and I ordered some new phones (Hooray!) and as I was signing for the UPS man and he sniffed a little and said, "Oh Man, Your House Smells Good!" When food is cooking and someone comments.... you always know that is a good sign! Ha Ha! Thanks UPS man! You made my day! And if you are wondering... it tastes even better than it smells!

Caramel Apple Grapes

Thanks Busy Mommy for this yummy idea.

The crisp fall weather has hit Iowa and I’ve brought out the pumpkin spice candles and the crockpot. I love this time of year and the food that comes with it. Caramel apples are one of the most popular fall weather treat, but just too messy and hard to eat for my liking, especially with kids.

When I tasted these caramel grapes awhile back at a family reunion, I had to make them. They surprisingly taste like little caramel apples and can be made fancy and eaten on a stick or you can eat a bowl full with a fork.

All you need is a bag of red, seedless grapes (the bigger the better), a few tablespoons of sour cream and Marzetti’s caramel apple dip (I chose fat free). You can also make this homemade caramel dip if you prefer. To make things fancier, I stuck each grape with either toothpicks or lollipop sticks to mimic a traditional caramel apple.

I love how simple this recipe is. First, heat the caramel in the microwave in 10 second intervals until it is warm and has smooth consistency. Mix in 2 Tablespoons of sour cream. Dunk the grapes that are on the sticks into the caramel to cover. If you want to add chopped nuts, sprinkles, or crushed m&ms now would be the time do it it.

To make them stand up, you need to make sure there is an excess amount of caramel on the bottom and place them on a lined baking sheet. (You could possible cut off a very small portion of the grape to make a flat surface to ensure that it will stand up, but that would be tedious). Cool in the fridge.

If you don’t want to take the time to put each grapes on sticks and dunk them, you can also pour the caramel over the bowl of grapes and mix and serve chilled in a big bowl. These Apple Cider Cups are another fun, fall treat!
