Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large crisp apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- ½ cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter (natural or regular)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts or pecans (optional)
- A pinch of sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and dry apples thoroughly. Core and slice into thin, even rounds about 1/8-inch thick. Place slices in a mixing bowl.
- Sprinkle ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon over apple slices and toss gently to coat evenly (optional).
- Spread apple slices out on a large serving platter in a single layer, overlapping slightly.
- Warm ½ cup caramel sauce in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or gently on stovetop until pourable. Drizzle evenly over apple slices.
- Mix ¼ cup creamy peanut butter with 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup in a small bowl. Warm gently in microwave for 10-15 seconds and stir until smooth. Drizzle over caramel-covered apples.
- Sprinkle chopped peanuts or pecans over the top and finish with a light pinch of flaky sea salt.
Notes
Slice apples just before serving to avoid browning. Warm caramel and peanut butter gently to achieve perfect drizzle consistency. Use sea salt to balance sweetness. Variations include nut-free options, seasonal fruit swaps, and adding chocolate or spices.
