How to make Caramel Apple Slices

Line a baking sheet with wax paper and set aside.

Slice granny smith apples into about 1/2 inch wide slices. You should be able to get between 3-5 slices depending on how large your apple is.

Use a sharp knife to cut a slit into the apple base and slide the popsicle stick into it.

Use a paper towel to pat down each side of the apple slices to remove moisture. Remove any exposed seeds and lay down apples onto the baking sheet.

Melt the almond bark in a microwave safe bowl for 30 second increments, stirring between, until melted.

Spread the chocolate on top of the apple. Allow the chocolate to set.

In a separate small microwave-safe bowl, add the soft caramels and heavy cream. Microwave for 30-second increments, stirring between each session until the caramel is melted. Continue to stir well until incorporated.

Spoon and spread the caramel on top of the chocolate, avoiding getting too close to the edge of the apple.

While the caramel is still hot, sprinkle the pecans and sea salt flakes on top.

Refrigerate the apples until ready to serve.

Notes:

Caramel apples are best made just prior to serving, but can be refrigerated if needed to be made in advance. Caramel may weep if left at room temperature for a long time.

Be sure to remove the excess moisture or the chocolate will not stick on the apples.

If you want to avoid browning, brush a small amount of lemon juice on the exposed apple surface after the apple is assembled.

There’s also an article with tips on how to read through recipes. It sets you on the right foot before you even start baking anything.

I have a habit of baking AS I read through the recipe. So, I often miss a step, or screw up something that is explained in more detail lower on the page…. (will I ever learn?!!… Looking at my track record, no, probably not!)

But, you, my friend, won’t have to throw out so many ingredients because you have this article to help you through the recipe AND a worksheet to write down the important details before starting.

Anyways, this guide is 22 pages of helpful resources for the beginner AND intermediate baker. I am sure you will find it insanely useful on your baking journey.
