Ingredients

Scale

1/4 cup caramel sauce

2 tablespoons chocolate syrup or melted chocolate chips

2 tablespoons chopped peanuts

2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Optional toppings: shredded coconut, crushed pretzels, mini marshmallows, toffee bits, granola

Instructions

1. Wash and slice apples into thin wedges, discarding cores. Toss with lemon juice if desired.

2. Arrange slices on a large serving plate in an overlapping spiral or fan shape.

3. Warm the caramel and chocolate sauces until pourable (10–15 seconds in the microwave).

4. Drizzle the sauces evenly over the arranged apple slices.

5. Sprinkle chopped peanuts, mini chocolate chips, and any additional toppings.

6. Serve immediately for the best texture and presentation.

Notes

Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for flavor depth.

Slice apples just before serving or toss in lemon juice to prevent browning.

Don’t overload with sauce—light drizzles go a long way in flavor and texture.
