Description

A simple, bite-sized fall treat that combines crisp apples, gooey caramel, and crunchy toppings. Perfect for parties, after-school snacks, or a quick autumn indulgence!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 20 soft caramel candies (or homemade caramel)
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream (or milk)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/4 cup crushed nuts (peanuts, pecans, or almonds)
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or toffee bits
  • 1/4 cup sprinkles (optional)
  • Toothpicks or small skewers

Instructions

  • Prepare the apples – Wash, dry, and cut apples into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch). Remove seeds. Insert a toothpick into each piece.
  • Melt the caramel – In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the caramel candies and heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  • Dip the apples – Dip each apple bite into the melted caramel, coating well.
  • Add toppings – Immediately roll or sprinkle the caramel-coated apples with nuts, chocolate chips, or sprinkles.
  • Chill and set – Place the coated bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 15 minutes until set.
  • Optional chocolate drizzle – Melt chocolate chips and drizzle over the bites for extra flavor.
  • Serve & enjoy – Eat immediately or store in the fridge for up to a day.

Notes

  • Use cold apples to help the caramel stick better.
  • If the caramel starts to harden while dipping, reheat in the microwave for a few seconds.
  • Best enjoyed fresh, as the caramel can become sticky over time.
