Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apples
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup water
- 30–40 store-bought caramel squares (or homemade caramel)
- 2–3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 cups chocolate chips (dark, milk, or white)
- 1 cup toasted pecans, chopped
- Optional toppings: mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, flaky sea salt, sprinkles
Instructions
- Slice apples into 1/2-inch thick rounds and remove seeds. Dip slices in lemon water (1 tablespoon lemon juice + 1 cup water) for 30 seconds to prevent browning. Pat dry.
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt caramel squares with 2-3 tablespoons cream, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring each time until smooth.
- Arrange apple slices on parchment paper. Spoon or drizzle caramel over slices and let sit for 2-3 minutes until slightly set.
- Drizzle or spread melted chocolate over caramel layer.
- Sprinkle toasted pecans and any optional toppings while chocolate is still soft.
- Allow to set at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Notes
For best results, enjoy the same day. To store, layer between parchment in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Avoid rushing cooling time for neater layers.
