Let’s Review the October Baking Challenge
October 2019 Sally’s Baking Challenge Recipe: Homemade Caramel Apples
You nailed this recipe! Making homemade candy is no easy feat, but many of you were up for the caramel apple challenge in October. Some had trouble with the caramel not thickening up, but cooking it a little longer helped. Caramel apples are a staple treat during the fall season and I’m so glad you crossed it off your lists. Now you’ll feel more confident making them in the future, too!
One of my favorite recipe reviews came from reader Sonja:
“Love this recipe! The apples were so delicious and the homemade caramel is definitely so much better than any store bought one. Thank you Sally, for another great challenge recipe.”
We gathered as many caramel apples photo entries as we could and included them below.

Hi Sally, could an Aussie participate in the challenge?
Love your recipes!! Especially the sciency info, it’s so helpful~
Thanks
Absolutely. Open to the whole world!
This pie was amazing! Everyone at home devoured it! It did not last one hour! Definitely making this one again on Thanksgiving!!
I’m thrilled it was such a hit!
I have always been intimidated by pie. I have made a few and sometimes they turn out and others are experiments. Looking forward to this November challenge!
I’m thrilled you will be participating this month!
So excited for this pie!!! sounds and looks delish!!! not ground beef at all LOL!!!
LOL!! Thank you Jenny!
Ah ha! So THIS is why you were stuck on the praline! Itโs a beauty, Sally! Happy Halloween!
I really enjoyed making this pie! I don’t know why but pie crust intimated me and I was so please with how it turned out following this recipe! Then the mix of the pumpkin and praline topping were an awesome combination, love the sweet/salty and then the creamy and crunchy texture! Glad I joined the challenge!
This challenge will be fun to put a new twist on a pie. Looking forward to the challenge.
I always love seeing these challenges–you’ve helped bring together such an amazing community of bakers and food enthusiasts! Happy almost-November, Sally!
