Caramel Apple Slices Recipe:

Ingredients:

4 apples (any variety you prefer)
1 cup caramel candies (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup chocolate chips (milk or dark)
1/2 cup shaved coconut
1/2 cup granola
1/2 cup cornflakes
1/2 cup peanuts (or your favorite nuts)
Wooden sticks or popsicle sticks

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients Gather all your ingredients and toppings. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Slice the Apples Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds or slices. Remove the seeds and insert wooden sticks into the center of each apple slice. This creates the perfect handle for your caramel apple slices.

Step 3: Melt the Caramel In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the caramel candies in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth and melted. Be careful not to overheat, as caramel can burn easily.

Step 4: Dip in Caramel Hold the wooden stick and dip each apple slice into the melted caramel, turning and coating it evenly. Allow any excess caramel to drip off, and then place the caramel-coated apple slices onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 5: Cool the Caramel Let the caramel-coated apple slices cool for about 10 minutes or until the caramel sets. This will prevent the toppings from sliding off.

Step 6: Prepare Your Toppings While the caramel sets, you can prepare your toppings. In separate bowls, have your chocolate chips, shaved coconut, granola, cornflakes, and peanuts ready for dipping.

Step 7: Dip in Chocolate In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals until smooth. Dip the caramel-coated apple slices into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 8: Add Toppings Quickly sprinkle your desired toppings over the chocolate-dipped apple slices before the chocolate sets. Get creative! You can roll them in coconut flakes, granola, crushed corn flakes, or chopped peanuts – or even mix and match.

Step 9: Let Them Set Place the decorated caramel apple slices back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and allow them to set completely. You can speed up the process by placing them in the fridge for about 20-30 minutes.

Step 10: Enjoy! Once the caramel and chocolate have hardened, your homemade Caramel Apple Slices on a Stick are ready to enjoy! Whether it’s a Halloween party or a cozy fall day, these delightful treats will be a hit with everyone and the best thing is that they are SO easy to make. 🍏

I love the slices because it makes for the perfect ratio of apple, caramel, and toppings but you can always go for the classic caramel apple instead.
