👩🍳 Directions (7 Steps)
1. Prep the apples
Wash, core, and slice the apples into wedges or rounds. Pat them dry with paper towels so the caramel sticks well.
2. Prepare the sheet pan
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Arrange the apple slices in a single layer, leaving a little space between each.
3. Drizzle with caramel
Pour caramel sauce evenly over the apple slices. Use the back of a spoon to spread it if needed, covering each slice generously.
4. Melt and drizzle chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips in 20–30 second increments, stirring between each, until smooth. Drizzle over the caramel-covered apples using a spoon or piping bag.
5. Add toppings
Sprinkle chopped peanuts, mini marshmallows, and sprinkles over the caramel and chocolate while it’s still warm so they stick.
6. Chill to set
Place the sheet pan in the fridge for 15–20 minutes, or until the caramel and chocolate are firm.
7. Serve
Once set, slice and serve directly from the pan or transfer to a serving tray. Enjoy immediately, or store for later snacking!
