Caramel apples dipped in brown sugar coating make a sweet, sticky subject, and this one is shown on a wooden stick with its glossy, golden-brown shell. The brown sugar coating sets it apart from the plainer red-candy-glazed apples often seen at fairs and markets. Treats like this grew popular in the United States in the early twentieth century, when candy makers and street vendors sold them at fairs, carnivals and county events. Apples were an easy base because they were cheap, plentiful and held the sticky coating well on a stick.
