Ingredients
3 medium Granny Smith apples
1 cup thick caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought)
½ cup melted chocolate (dark, milk, or white)
⅓ cup chopped nuts (peanuts, almonds, or preferred)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, to prevent browning)
1 sheet parchment paper (for setting)
Instructions
1. Wash and dry apples thoroughly to remove wax. Slice into ¼ to ½-inch rounds, avoiding the core.
2. Pat apple slices completely dry with paper towels to help caramel stick.
3. Line a tray or baking sheet with parchment paper and lay out your ingredients.
4. Warm the caramel slightly and spoon or dip it over each apple slice, covering halfway or more.
5. Let the caramel set slightly, then drizzle melted chocolate over each slice.
6. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with chopped nuts or other toppings.
7. Chill slices in the fridge for 10–15 minutes until caramel and chocolate firm up.
8. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to eat.
Notes
Make sure apple slices are completely dry before adding caramel to help it stick properly.
Let caramel cool just enough so it thickens slightly—it shouldn’t be runny.
These are best enjoyed the same day for freshness and texture.
