Ingredients
3 large Granny Smith apples
1 tablespoon lemon juice
30 soft caramels
1 tablespoon milk or cream
1/3 cup chopped peanuts or mixed nuts
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Core the apples and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
2. Soak apple slices in lemon water for 5 minutes to prevent browning, then pat dry.
3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the caramels with milk until smooth.
4. Dip each apple slice into the caramel and let the excess drip off.
5. Place on parchment paper and immediately sprinkle with chopped nuts.
6. Melt chocolate and drizzle over slices using a spoon or piping bag.
7. Let them cool completely until the caramel and chocolate are set.
8. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 24 hours in an airtight container.
Notes
Use parchment paper to prevent sticking when setting the slices.
For a more gourmet look, use white chocolate or dark chocolate drizzles.
