Indulge in these delightful Caramel Apple Slices, perfect for cozy gatherings and family fun this autumn. Easy to make and customizable with your favorite 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.
- 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 coated 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: Place the tray in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the caramel to firm up.
- Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the caramel apple slices on a platter and serve them to your guests.
Notes
Feel free to customize toppings to suit your taste. These slices are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for up to three days in the refrigerator.
