I actually didn't think I was going to celebrate it at all until I saw that apple. Now I'm going to celebrate it with a caramel apple.
Well happy birthday to him, that apple looks so good.
Ooh, I love caramel apples! Maybe I'll pick one up then 🙂
It's fitting, it's an apple time of year, and we make lots of apple treats 🙂
I didn't know there was a Johnny Appleseed day. One of your caramel apples would be a great way to celebrate.
I've never heard of Johnny Appleseed Day. Now your post has me wanting a caramel apple. These look really good! You're right they would make for a great surprise gift for someone.
Definitely want to celebrate with one of those apples. Maybe I will just have to make a pie and wear a pot on my head.
That caramel apple looks yummy! I would love to make some with my kids this fall.
I wasn't planning on celebrating, but after seeing that apple it makes me want to.
@Lynda – I know, right?! Johnny Appleseed Day was completely off my radar but when I saw (and tasted) these apples, I had to plan a reason why people should pick one up and eat it! 🙂
What a great caramel apple! So pretty!
That is one amazing looking candy apple. So perfect for Halloween.
I remember my son's school celebrating Johnny Appleseed day when he was in Kindergarten…. makes me smile thinking about it. 🙂 That caramel apple looks amazing!
I had no idea there was such a day but those apples look yummy!
I love fall, especially for apple and pumpkin treats. Caramel apples are a fave of mine.
Yum! That looks tasty.
Yum, that apple looks amazing. What a fun idea to do a school day around apples. Thanks for the idea. I think the kids will love it.
Wow, that looks so delicious! I love candy apples.
oh, those apples look awesome! I love getting the candied apples at Disneyland when we go. I love all things apple – so I'll try to remember to have some on the 26th!
Sounds like a holiday to celebrate. I have been making lots of apple dishes lately, and want to try candy apples soon, so maybe we will make them on the 26th.
I love a good Carmel,Apple!! I need to remember this Johnny Appleseed day!
My kids celebrated Johnny Appleseed Day when they were young, but I don't do anything at home. I love all those old folk tales. They are so much fun and often have a great lesson. I need to scurry over to the store to surprise the kids with caramel apples before they get home.
I'm so sorry to have missed this! Even though we don't homeschool, I love celebrating history with my kids.
