Description
Delightful caramel apple slices perfect for fall gatherings, combining juicy apples and rich caramel 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: Rinse the apples under cool water and pat them dry. Slice each apple into quarter-inch thick rounds, carefully 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 the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Dip the apple slices: Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each apple slice into the melted caramel, ensuring a generous, even coating.
- Add toppings: Immediately sprinkle your coated apple slices with nuts, mini chocolate chips, or a touch of flaky sea salt. Place them on a parchment-lined baking tray to set.
- Chill: To allow the caramel to firm up nicely, place your tray in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy: Once set, arrange the caramel apple slices on a beautiful platter.
Notes
These slices can be customized with various toppings such as melted chocolate or crushed peppermint candies.
