Ingredients
Scale
Apples
- 4 large apples, sliced
Toppings
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (or your favorite nuts)
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup sprinkles (optional)
- 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Apples: Wash and slice the apples into thin wedges. Arrange them in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet pan to ensure even topping distribution and easy serving.
- Warm Caramel Sauce: Heat the caramel sauce in the microwave for 15-20 seconds until softened and easy to drizzle. Evenly drizzle the warmed caramel over the apple slices for a sweet, gooey coating.
- Melt Chocolate Chips: Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring between each until smooth and melted. Drizzle the melted chocolate generously over the caramel-covered apples.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle chopped peanuts, mini marshmallows, optional sprinkles, and crushed graham crackers over the apples to add crunch and extra flavor layers.
- Set and Serve: Allow the caramel and chocolate to set for a few minutes at room temperature. Optionally garnish with a sprinkle of sea salt to enhance the sweet and savory balance. Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
Notes
- Use crisp, firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture.
- If you prefer, substitute peanuts with other nuts such as walnuts or pecans.
- To speed up setting, refrigerate the finished apples for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- For a dairy-free option, use vegan caramel sauce and dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Be careful when melting chocolate in the microwave to avoid burning; stir frequently.
