Ingredients
-
2 Granny Smith apples, cored and thinly sliced
-
2 Fuji apples, cored and thinly sliced
-
1 Tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice
-
11 oz (310 g) caramels
-
1/2 cup (120 ml) evaporated milk
-
1/2 cup (90 g) mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
-
1/2 cup (70 g) coarsely chopped peanuts
Instructions
-
Toss apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine caramels and evaporated milk. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth (about 2–3 minutes).
-
Arrange apple slices on a large platter in overlapping layers.
-
Drizzle warm caramel sauce over apples.
-
Sprinkle with chocolate chips and peanuts.
-
Serve immediately while the caramel is warm.
Notes
Mix apple varieties (tart Granny Smith + sweet Fuji) for balance.
Swap peanuts for granola, pretzels, or toffee bits for nut-free options.
Drizzle with white chocolate or add flaky sea salt for a gourmet touch.
Assemble just before serving to keep apples crisp.
Bottled caramel sauce works fine if you want to save time.
