Ingredients
Scale
- 4 crisp apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji)
- ½ cup caramel sauce
- ¼ cup melted chocolate (milk, dark, or white)
- ¼ cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp toffee bits or sprinkles
- Lemon juice (to prevent browning)
Instructions
- Wash and slice apples into wedges, tossing lightly in lemon juice.
- Arrange apple slices on a large serving platter in overlapping layers.
- Warm caramel sauce and drizzle generously over the apples.
- Melt chocolate chips until smooth, then drizzle over the caramel.
- Sprinkle toppings (nuts, chips, toffee bits) evenly across the platter.

Notes
- For a healthier option, drizzle peanut butter instead of caramel. To make it vegan, use dairy-free caramel and chocolate. Always slice apples right before serving to keep them crisp and fresh.
