Why you’ll love this recipe
These Caramel Apple Slices are the ideal combo of juicy apples, rich chocolate, and gooey caramel. They’re easy to make and customizable with your choice of toppings. Perfect for a fun afternoon with the family, they turn into a memorable activity. Plus, no sticky mess on your face like traditional caramel apples!
Ingredients
- 2 Apples
- 4 White or Wooden Lollipop Sticks
- 1 cup Melting Chocolate
- 1 cup Caramel
- Toppings – optional
Step-by-step instructions
- Start by washing and slicing the apples into bite-sized pieces, removing any seeds you find along the way. For easy handling, insert a lollipop stick into each slice’s bottom and then pat them dry — this helps the toppings stick better.
- Next, melt your chocolate over low heat. Once it’s ready, cover each apple slice in the warm, smooth chocolate and place them on a wax paper-lined tray to harden. If you’re like me and sometimes get impatient, you can pop them in the fridge to speed up the process.
- Now for the fun part — drizzling caramel over the chocolate-covered slices. Feel free to add any toppings your crew loves, whether it’s nuts, sprinkles, or a dash of sea salt.
- Let everything firm up, and before you know it, they’re ready to enjoy!
Recipe tips & variations
Make sure your apple slices are completely dry before dipping them in melted chocolate to ensure it adheres well. Try mixing up your toppings depending on your mood; crushed pretzels or coconut flakes are excellent choices for added crunch. If your family prefers milk or dark chocolate, swap it out to suit your preferences.
Storage & reheating
These Caramel Apple Slices are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have extras, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days. They’re delicious straight from the fridge, cold and crunchy. Reheating isn’t necessary, as the toppings may not hold up well to heat.
FAQs
Can I use store-bought caramel sauce?
Absolutely! Store-bought caramel sauces work great and save time.
How do I prevent the chocolate from sliding off the apples?
Make sure the apple slices are patted dry thoroughly before dipping them in the melted chocolate.
What other toppings can I use?
You can use chopped nuts, crushed candy, or even a sprinkle of sea salt for a sweet-savory combo.
