How long will my Affy Tapple Caramel Apples stay fresh?
Our Caramel Apples are best enjoyed soon after receipt. If you're unable to enjoy them upon arrival, keep your Affy Tapples in the refrigerator. Typically, if refrigerated, caramel apples will remain fresh for two weeks. NEVER freeze an Affy Tapple Caramel. Remember that these are perishable products, so don't wait too long to enjoy!

What types of apples do you use for your Caramel Apples?
We use a variety of apples for our Affy Tapple Caramel Apples, primarily Empire, Jonathon, Granny Smith, and Gala. However, because this year has brought unique challenges to sourcing our apples, we’ve also introduced Red Delicious and Golden Delicious to our lineup. Since we ultimately use a mixture of apple varieties, there is no way to tell which kind has been used for your Caramel Apple; but we assure you that it will be delicious because we take great care to select the finest and freshest produce.

However, the “Apple Pie”, “Graham Crunch”, and “Vanilla Cookie Pieces” toppings in the Affy Tapple line contain cookie pieces that contain gluten.
