Description
Delight in these Caramel Apple Slices, a cozy fall treat that combines tender apple slices with rich caramel and 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, removing the core. Aim for 12-16 slices.
- Melt the caramel: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel bits and heavy cream. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and creamy.
- Dip the apple slices: Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each apple slice into the melted caramel, coating evenly.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle the coated slices with chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, or flaky sea salt immediately. Set on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Chill: Place the tray in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes until the caramel firms up.
- Serve and enjoy: Arrange caramel apple slices on a platter and serve.
