A Thanksgiving Fruit Tray Your Holiday Guests Will Gobble Up!
Serving a Thanksgiving Fruit Tray before the meal is a good way to keep hungry dinner guests from sneaking bites of mashed potatoes or pie out of the kitchen. It’ll stave off their hunger without ruining their appetites. And it’ll buy you some time in the kitchen to finish up cooking the meal.
How cute is this Caramel Apple Tray in the shape of a Thanksgiving turkey? It’s sure to put smiles on all of your holiday guests. Serve with your favorite variety of apples — there’s no right or wrong!
Use store-bought caramel sauce if you’re short on time on time. But if you have a few extra minutes to spare on Thanksgiving morning, whip up our homemade caramel apple dip instead. It takes 15 minutes from start to finish and it tastes amazing.
Produce Moms Tip: Save time by using pre-sliced apples!
