Inside Out Caramel Apples


Ingredients
  1. 1 (14 ounce) bag caramels
  2. 1 1/2 tablespoon water
  3. 2 apples
  4. 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  5. 2 Nature Valley granola bars, crumbled
Instructions
  1. Heat caramels and water in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until melted, stirring often.
  2. Meanwhile, cut both apples in half and remove the stem. Then use a spoon or melon baller to remove the seeds and core of the apples, leaving about 1/4″ or so of apple flesh, to create the apple “cup.”
  3. Using a pastry brush, immediately brush the inside of the apple cup with lemon juice. Repeat with remaining apple slices.
  4. After the apples have rested for at least 2 minutes, use a paper towel to pat the insides of the apple cups dry.
  5. Pour the melted caramel inside each apple cup, and then sprinkle them with the granola crumbs. Serve immediately if you like the melted caramel, or refrigerate them to let the caramel harden again.

Wine Rack Towel Holder


This one speaks for itself. A wall mounted wine rack seems to hold rolled towels like a champ. This is a good solution for a small bathroom that doesn’t have enough cupboard space but perhaps has a free wall that can be utilized to store your towels.

File Box Appliance Storage


If you’re anything like me, you leave your hair dryer, curling iron, and hair straightener on the counter while it cools, and then it just ends up sitting there all day cluttering up your counter space. Check out the solution to that problem using a file box! Attach it to a wall or the side of a counter for easy access, yet still out of the way and aesthetically pleasing.
