🍽️ Directions
1️⃣ Prep the Sheet Pan
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup. Arrange apple slices in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap.
2️⃣ Warm the Caramel
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, gently warm the caramel sauce until it’s pourable but not too hot.
3️⃣ Coat the Apples
Drizzle or spoon the caramel evenly over the apple slices. Use a spatula or brush to coat each slice thoroughly.
4️⃣ Add Chocolate
Drizzle melted chocolate over the caramel-coated apples. For a fun design, use a fork or spoon to create zigzags or swirls.
5️⃣ Sprinkle Toppings
Immediately sprinkle chopped peanuts, mini marshmallows, and sprinkles over the chocolate while it’s still soft so they stick.
6️⃣ Chill & Set
Place the sheet pan in the fridge for 20–30 minutes or until the caramel and chocolate have firmed up.
7️⃣ Serve & Enjoy
Remove from the fridge and serve directly from the pan. These are perfect for parties, snacks, or as a fun dessert centerpiece!
