This fresh picked, sliced apple becomes a gourmet delight, drizzled with homemade caramel, then topped with whipped cream, a maraschino cherry, and your choice of peanuts, M & M's, Oreos, or Reece's Pieces topping!
Be sure you also try the Apple Cider Slush Drink, and favorite that brings guests back again and again.
