Caramel Apple Slices
I love the contrast between tart apples and sweet chocolate and caramel. Crisp apples, chewy caramel, and any festive topping you can imagine! They’re just like candy apples, but easier to eat.

Ingredients
- Apples – granny smith apples, fuji, honeycrisp, gala, pink lady, any apples you like!
- Caramel bits OR caramel squares to make caramel sauce
- Chocolate chips
- White chips, or white chocolate
- Pecans, peanuts, sprinkles, mini marshmallows, coconut, pretzels, cinnamon, etc.
- Lollipop sticks
Melt caramel bits, and chocolate/white chips in separate bowls. You can do this by microwaving them for 10-15 seconds at a time or putting them in a hot water bath.
Be careful not to get any water in the chocolate – even just a drop will cause your chocolate to harden and be unusable.
While caramel and chocolate are melting, slice apples into ⅓-½ inch slices, and pierce with a lollipop stick. It can be helpful to break the skin of the apple with a knife tip or toothpick first. You want the seat the stick half an inch or so into the apple. Just make sure the apple slices are dry (pat them with a paper towel) or else the toppings have a hard time sticking.
If you’re worried about the apples turning brown, the easiest way to stop this from happening is to spritz the sliced apples with lemon juice. Lay the prepared apple slices on parchment paper for easy clean-up, and drizzle with melted caramel, melted chocolate, white chocolate, and other toppings and flavors as desired.

- nuts
- chopped up candy bar pieces
- mini marshmallows
- chocolate chips

- shredded coconut
- crushed Oreos
- marshmallow fluff
- mini M&M’s
- crushed pretzels

These are wonderful for anything from a Halloween buffet table to a Thanksgiving snack. This simple dessert will definitely want to make these more than once!
