means a whole apple coated in a hard or chewy layer of cooked caramel, usually skewered on a stick and eaten as a fairground or autumn treat.

from A transparent compound of "caramel" and "apple." "Caramel" came into English through French from Spanish "caramelo," likely tracing back to Late Latin "calamellus," a little reed or cane — a nod to sugar cane, though some trace it instead to a Latin-Arabic term for a sugar-honey sweet. "Apple" is deeply Germanic, from Old English "æppel," with cousins across the old northern languages. The treat itself is an American confection that took off in the early 20th century, when candymakers discovered that dunking an apple in molten sugar was an irresistible way to sell both.
