Caramel apples, Scrapbook style

It's Caramel Apple season--officially!  However, my grandson got a head start at the the Iowa State Fair and had to have one (with nuts) there.  I wanted to put a c.apple on the the SB'd pages, so I experimented and came up with a fun and very "real" looking C. Apple--at least the Grandkids were impressed.   Just cut out 2 apples (we have one in our die cuts at the store) or use the cricut, cut one in red or green and one in "caramel" brown.  Layer them with a popcycle stick between and don't forget to cut your "caramel" back a little to let your apple peek through.  Then use Glossy Accents in a thin layer over the "caramel".  Add real nuts or very small pebbles while still wet  and you have a very impressive Caramel Apple for your layout! 
If you want a "bite" out of it, carefull tear the bite out and wiggle a little piece of cream color in so it peeks out too!
