Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 firm, crisp apples (e.g., Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji)
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, or peanuts)
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Optional toppings: sprinkles, crushed pretzels, shredded coconut
Instructions
- Wash and core the apples, then slice them into thin wedges. Arrange the slices in an overlapping pattern on a serving platter.
- Heat the caramel sauce in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make it easier to drizzle.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until fully melted.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce over the apple slices, followed by the melted chocolate.
- Sprinkle the chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, and a pinch of cinnamon evenly across the top.
- Add optional toppings like sprinkles or crushed pretzels for extra texture and color.
- Serve immediately while the apples are crisp and the toppings are gooey.
Notes
To prevent browning, toss apple slices in lemon juice before assembling. For a smoother chocolate drizzle, add a teaspoon of coconut oil or butter before melting.
