Default Apple Dipping Station

Hi All!
I remember a thread last fall on apple dipping stations. I couldn't find it in a search. I have a client who wants one for November and i need to figure it ut in order to price it. Do any of you do this? (SHROOM - was it you?) Do you do slices or whole apples? If slices, how do you keep them from browning? Caramel recipes for the dipping? Design or topping ideas?

Even a referral back to the previous thread would be great

Thanks!
pgr

Soak the sliced apples in lemon juice and water for a while then strain them right before serving..
One of my personal favorites is sliced apples with honey.
( It's a Jewish thing) Try it!!

Mazol Tov, also a nice touch is using a fondue fountan's for chocolate, caremel, and ect. Guest love them. I was unaware that there were good Jewish girls in Maine, I've been looking in the wrong places.




Yes, we waisted 6 cases of pineapples to make those trees, to desighn this display. The guest loved it.
