Description
Delicious caramel apple slices perfect for fall gatherings, featuring tender apple slices coated in rich caramel and topped with customizable toppings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium-sized apples (Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith)
- 1 cup caramel bits or soft caramel squares
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
- 1 cup chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts)
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- Sea salt, for sprinkling on top (optional)
Instructions
- Prep your apples: Begin by rinsing the apples under cool water and patting them dry. Slice each apple into quarter-inch thick rounds, removing the core.
- Melt the caramel: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel bits and heavy cream. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and creamy.
- Dip the apple slices: Using a fork or a toothpick, dip one apple slice at a time into the melted caramel, ensuring each slice is coated evenly.
- Add toppings: Immediately sprinkle the topped slices with your choice of chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, or a touch of flaky sea salt. Let them set on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Chill: Once coated, place the tray in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes, allowing the caramel to firm up.
- Serve and enjoy: Arrange your caramel apple slices on a platter and serve them to your guests.
