Sheet Pan Caramel Apples 🍏🍫🍬

Ingredients:

  • 4 large apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or your favorite variety)
  • 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white, based on preference)
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (or substitute with pecans, almonds, or cashews)
  • 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup sprinkles (optional, for a festive touch)
  • 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers (optional, for added texture)
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt (optional, for a sweet-salty balance)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Apples:
  • Wash and thoroughly dry the apples to ensure toppings stick well.
  • Slice into thin wedges, removing the cores. Arrange in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy cleanup.
  1. Drizzle the Caramel:
  • Warm the caramel sauce in a microwave-safe bowl for 15-20 seconds until pourable but not too runny.
  • Use a spoon to drizzle the caramel evenly over the apple slices.
  1. Melt the Chocolate:
  • Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
  • Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel-coated apples.
  1. Add the Toppings:
  • Sprinkle chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, sprinkles, and crushed graham crackers over the apples. For a unique twist, you can mix and match sections with different toppings for variety!
  1. Set and Serve:
  • Allow the caramel and chocolate to set slightly, about 5 minutes at room temperature.
  • For an extra flavor boost, lightly sprinkle with sea salt just before serving.
  • Serve immediately for maximum freshness and enjoyment.

Tips:

  • Prevent Browning: If prepping apples in advance, toss slices in lemon juice or a light saltwater solution and pat dry before arranging on the sheet pan.
  • Customize Toppings: Add crushed cookies, dried fruit, or drizzle white chocolate for a gourmet touch.
  • Serving Idea: Provide skewers or forks so guests can pick up individual slices easily.

Time & Yield:

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Servings: 6-8 (depending on slice size)
  • Calories per Serving: ~180 kcal

Enjoy this simple yet spectacular dessert that captures all the joy of caramel apples without the mess! 🍁
