Ingredients

Scale

Apples

Instructions

  1. Prepare caramel sauce: Follow the directions on the package of caramel squares to melt and prepare 1 cup of caramel sauce ready for drizzling.
  2. Prepare apples: Wash, core, and slice the Granny Smith apples into thin slices. Immediately brush the slices with lemon juice to prevent browning and then pat dry with a paper towel.

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice balance with the sweet caramel.
  • Brush lemon juice on apple slices immediately after cutting to prevent browning and maintain freshness.
  • Caramel sauce can be prepared ahead of time and warmed before use.
  • Customize toppings with nuts, mini chocolate chips, or sprinkles for variety.
  • Serve immediately after assembling to enjoy the crisp texture of the apples.
