Equipment

  • 1 Large Sheet Pan
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 Large Apples I used a mix of Honeycrisp and Granny Smith.
  • ½ Cup Dairy Free Caramel Any caramel sauce will work, I used my homemade caramel sauce recipe.
  • ¼ Cup Dark Chocolate Chips A chopped chocolate bar will work too.
  • ¼ Cup Raw Walnuts, Chopped You can also use peanuts, almonds, or pecans.
  • ¼ Cup Gluten-Free Pretzels
  • ¼ Cup White Chocolate Chips I used Pascha dairy-free mini white chocolate chips.

Optional

  • Flaky Sea Salt

Instructions
 

  • Start by washing and drying the apples. Then cut the apples into slices using a sharp knife or apple slicer. Make sure they're not too thin so they can easily be picked up by a toothpick or fork.
  • Then, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Line up the apple slices until the entire sheet pan is covered. Try not to overlap the slices too much so they get evenly covered with toppings.
  • Drizzle the cooled caramel sauce on top of the apple slices followed by each topping. I suggest picking 4 toppings and keep them separate so guests can choose what flavor they would like.
  • Keep chilled until you're ready to serve!

Notes

Tips for Success

  • Add the raw nuts and pretzels on before serving so they don't get soft or soggy on top of the caramel sauce.
  • Slice apples a little thicker so they're easy to pick up with a toothpick or fork.
  • Use an apple slicer to save on prep time!
  • To travel with this recipe, just cover the entire sheet pan with plastic wrap and keep it flat in the car.
  • Place the apples in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure they're completely covered with the different toppings.
  • This might sound obvious, but do not peel the apples! The peel is full of fiber and nutrients, plus it adds flavor and texture to this dessert.

How to Store Leftovers

Leftover caramel apple slices can be store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. I don't suggest freezing this recipe.
