Apple Caramel Dip Teacher Gift

We have a tradition of giving teachers an apple-themed gift on the first day of school. Nothing fancy, just a simple something to say that we are excited for the school year, and to show our gratitude for all the hours they’ve already put in.  I’ve done several different things, like Apple Mason Jars, or Apple Handsoap, and Caramel Apples.  This year I decided to do a deconstructed Caramel Apple, and give Caramel Dip and an apple, tied up with a cute tag and bakers twine.  It turned out so cute–we can’t wait to give this Apple Caramel Dip Teacher Gift on the first day of school!
