πβ¨ GOURMET CANDY APPLES β¨π
Take the classic candy apple and make it completely decadent.
Our Gourmet Candy Apples begin with crisp, tart Granny Smith apples and are transformed by hand with delicious layers and toppings that may include our homemade caramel, chocolate, candy pieces, cookies, nuts, sprinkles, drizzles, and other specialty toppings depending on the flavor you choose.
Sweet, tart, crunchy, chewy, chocolatey β every variety has its own personality. π€
β¨ WHAT YOUβRE ORDERING
This listing is for the specific GOURMET APPLE FLAVOR shown and described in this listing.
Because our gourmet collection includes many different creations, ingredients, coatings, toppings, colors, and decorations VARY BY FLAVOR AND LISTING.
Please review the individual listing photos and description carefully to see what is included with the flavor you are purchasing.
Some gourmet apples may contain or be topped with:
π« Chocolate or chocolate-flavored coatings and drizzles
π― Homemade caramel
π₯ Nuts or nut toppings
π¬ Candy-coated chocolate pieces or other candies
πͺ Cookies, cookie pieces, or crumbs
β¨ Sprinkles, decorative toppings, or specialty drizzles
Not every gourmet apple contains every ingredient listed above. The exact combination depends on the flavor/design selected.
π MADE FRESH TO ORDER
Every gourmet apple is handmade to order. We start with fresh Granny Smith apples and individually coat, dip, drizzle, and decorate them according to the flavor youβve selected.
Because we use REAL, fresh apples, nature gets to decide their exact size and shape!
APPLE SIZE, SHAPE, COLOR, AND WEIGHT WILL VARY depending on seasonal availability. Some apples may be larger or smaller than others. We carefully select quality apples for our orders, but we cannot guarantee an exact size, weight, shape, or identical appearance.
β¨ HANDMADE MEANS UNIQUE
No two gourmet apples will ever be completely identical β and thatβs part of their charm!
Because each apple is decorated by hand, there may be natural variations in:
β’ Apple size and shape
β’ Amount and placement of toppings
β’ Drizzle patterns
β’ Coating thickness
β’ Candy or cookie placement
β’ Color and decoration
β’ Overall finished appearance
Small imperfections and variations are normal characteristics of a handmade food product.
Please also remember that listing photos are representative of the design. Your handmade apples will be created in the same style, but they will not be exact replicas of the photographed apple.
Occasionally, a decorative candy, cookie, sprinkle, or specialty ingredient may become unavailable or change in appearance. When necessary, we may use a comparable substitute while keeping the overall flavor and design as close to the listing as reasonably possible.
π¦ SHIPPING & DELIVERY β PLEASE READ
Gourmet apples are fresh, perishable food products, and some coatings and toppings are especially sensitive to temperature.
PLEASE TRACK YOUR PACKAGE and plan to bring your order inside promptly after delivery.
Chocolate, caramel, candy coatings, and decorative toppings can soften, melt, shift, crack, or otherwise change when exposed to heat, direct sunlight, freezing temperatures, or prolonged outdoor conditions.
Once the carrier has delivered your package, we cannot control the temperature or conditions in which the package is left. During warm weather, it is especially important that someone retrieve the package as soon as possible.
Please refrigerate your gourmet apples promptly after receiving them.
For the best flavor and quality, we recommend enjoying your apples as fresh as possible.

β€οΈ IF SOMETHING ISNβT RIGHT
