Another work party question - would you eat apples?

mfeo24

I've signed up to bring fruit to the work holiday party, (the one w/ the white elephant exchange (oh i'm so excited..)) I thought I'd do a fruit salad (strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, grapes), but this is a way pricey choice! So now I'm thinking a one-fruit item, like apple slices with caramel dip. Is that an acceptable pot-luck sharing item? Someone is bringing cantaloupe and watermelon, so it seems reasonable. If so, how to I keep the apple slices from browning, and how can I serve this? Party isn't until about 1 in the afternoon, and I don't own many (uh, any) large serving dishes except maybe some bowls.

I would eat apples and caramel dip for sure!

To keep them from browning, brush them (or dip them in) with lemon juice.

Yes, I think this is a good choice.  I would eat apples with caramel dip.

I am bringing a veggie tray to my work Christmas party tomorrow because I'm not a good cook and I didn't know what else to bring.

I just saw an article the other day about how to keep apple slices from browning.  Try cutting them into slices and keeping them in the form of an apple, with a rubber band around them.

I would totally eat that. I usually make my caramel dip with a layer of cream cheese (mxed with a bit of cinnamon and brown sugar) topped with caramel sauce and crushed up skor bar on top of that. It's pretty much the most amazing thing ever.

Another way to keep them from browning is dipping the slices in a  bowl of orange juice or pineapple juice. Some varieties of apples tend to brown faster than others (Macintosh comes to mind). Granny Smiths tend to keep pretty well, plus are a nice foil for the super-sweet caramel dip.

Thank you VERY much for this!!

I was looking for a yummy caramel dip to make for this weekend and you've now solved that =)

sunshine9779

1 tub thawed cool whip
2 Snickers bars chopped up
2 apples diced

Mix and serve with graham crackers!

how do you make the caramel dip with the Skor bars? Do you just get caramel dip from the supermarket, and mix it in, or do you make it from scratch with caramels? Where does the cream cheeze come in? I HAVE to try this!
