Dipping and Decoration
- Grab your apple slices and dip each slice into the warm caramel. Roll them in your choice of toppings like chopped nuts, sprinkles, or drizzle some chocolate over them.
Setting
- Place the coated apple slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and pop them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until the caramel is set. Then enjoy!
Notes
If the caramel gets too thick as it cools, just microwave it for a few seconds to soften it again. Don’t worry if your sauce looks a little lumpy; it’s all part of the magic! For an even sweeter treat, try adding a pinch of sea salt on top to balance the sweetness of the caramel.
