Create sweet memories with this adorable caramel apple craft. Using your child’s handprint for the caramel makes it extra special and fun. A perfect fall keepsake or classroom craft.
Towards the end of August, I start thinking about fall. I love pumpkins and apple picking. A favorite fall treat of course is a sweet caramel apple.
Today’s craft reminds me of fall. These paper caramel apples are even cuter with your child’s handprint.
Your child can make any color apple he wants. He can make a red, green, or yellow apple. Let them be creative and pick their own colors.
I used leftover sprinkles, which I think makes it look more realistic. If you don’t have sprinkles, you can use glitter or color sprinkles on your handprint caramel.

Caramel Apple Craft Instructions
Decide if you are going to make a red apple or a green apple. My daughter likes red apples, so she made a red one. My son likes green apples so he made a green one.
For this tutorial, I will make a red apple.
Draw or trace an apple shape on red construction paper. Then, cut out the apple shape.
Next, trace your child’s hand on the brown construction paper. Then, cut out the handprint. This will be the caramel for the apple.
Then, glue the brown hand to the top of the red apple shape. You may need to trim the top of the hand. (I had to do some trimming to get it to look like the apple shape).
Next, add glue to the top of the hand and add sprinkles or glitter. I had leftover sprinkles from cookie baking, so I used them.
If you don’t have any sprinkles or glitter, you can draw sprinkles on your caramel apple. Or you could leave it plain. Let your child decorate it how she likes.
Finally, glue a craft stick to the bottom of your paper apple. If you don’t have any craft sticks, you can use a paper brown rectangle.
I hope you enjoy making this caramel apple craft with your kids.
Ways To Modify This Craft
Instead of tracing your child’s hand on brown paper, you could paint your child’s handprint on the apple. Just paint your child’s hand brown and press it down towards the top of the apple.
