Chopped Caramel Apples

A delightful and easy-to-make treat perfect for fall or any time you're craving something sweet and crunchy!

Ingredients (Serves 4):

  • 4 medium apples (Granny Smith, Fuji, or Honeycrisp work best)
  • 1 cup soft caramel candies (unwrapped) or premade caramel sauce
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional, for smoother caramel)
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (peanuts, pecans, or almonds)
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or sprinkles (optional)
  • Wooden skewers or toothpicks (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Apples:

    • Wash and dry the apples thoroughly.
    • Core and chop the apples into bite-sized pieces. Arrange them on a serving platter.

  2. Melt the Caramel:

    • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the caramel candies with the heavy cream (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth.
    • Alternatively, heat caramel sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until warm.

  3. Drizzle the Caramel:

    • Using a spoon, drizzle the melted caramel generously over the chopped apples.

  4. Add Toppings:

    • Sprinkle the chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, and any other toppings over the caramel-coated apples.

  5. Serve:

    • Serve immediately with skewers or toothpicks for easy grabbing.

Tips:

  • Prevent Browning: Toss apple pieces in a mixture of lemon juice and water to keep them fresh-looking.
  • Customizations: Add crushed pretzels, shredded coconut, or a drizzle of melted chocolate for extra flavor.
  • Make Ahead: Prep the apples and toppings ahead of time, then drizzle the caramel just before serving.

Enjoy these sweet, crunchy, and caramel-coated bites of deliciousness! 🍏🍎✨
