Each year, as the temperatures dip and sweaters come out of hiding, our kitchen gets to work crafting this beloved seasonal treat. Del’s Caramel Apples are made the old-fashioned way - starting with hand-picked, tart and juicy Jonathan apples, each one dipped in rich, buttery homemade caramel. The result? A perfect balance of sweet and tangy that brings you back to the simple joys of autumn.

🍎 When Can You Get Them?


Our Caramel Apples are only available during the fall season, and trust us - they go fast! Keep an eye on our online store and social media for their official release date each year (typically September through October). Once they’re gone, they’re gone until next fall!
