Ingredients
- 6 large apples Granny Smith, Fuji, Honeycrisp, or a mix; enough for about 8 servings
- 1 cup caramel sauce Smucker’s or chilled caramel dip from the produce section
- 1 cup chocolate prepared chocolate sauce or melting chocolate warmed until smooth
- 1 cup mini marshmallows for topping
- 1 cup mini M&M’s for topping
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut for topping
- 1/2 cup almond slivers for topping
- 1/2 cup crushed peanuts for topping
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips for topping
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers for topping
- 1/2 cup crushed Oreos for topping
- 1/2 cup crushed pretzels for topping
- 1/4 cup sprinkles for topping
- 16 lollipop sticks or small skewers for serving the apple slices
Instructions
- Set out your toppings in a muffin tin or small bowls so everything is ready before you cut the apples.
- Slice the apples into sturdy wedges, using an apple slicer or corer if desired for faster, more even pieces.
- If serving right away, arrange the apple slices on a platter or cutting board; if they need to wait, soak them in a salt water bath for 10 minutes, then rinse and dry them very well before serving.
- Warm the caramel sauce just until it is easy to dip into, and prepare the melted chocolate if using; place sauces in small bowls or cups deep enough for dipping.
- Press a lollipop stick or small skewer into each apple slice, or skip the sticks and let everyone use a fork if preferred.
- Dip each apple slice into caramel or chocolate, then sprinkle on toppings while the sauce is still sticky; drizzle one sauce over the other if you want both caramel and chocolate.
- Serve right away while the apples are crisp and the toppings are still in place, with plenty of napkins nearby.
Notes
This dessert bar is best served fresh. Store leftover plain apple slices covered in the refrigerator and use within a day or so. Assembled caramel apple slices can be stored in a single layer in a covered container in the fridge, but the caramel may firm up and toppings may soften; do not reheat assembled slices, just let them sit out for a few minutes before eating.
