Ingredients
- 3 large apples (about 24 oz / 680 g), sliced thinly (preferably a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp)
- 1 cup (240 ml) caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade, e.g., Werther’s Original)
- 2 regular-sized Snickers bars (about 3.5 oz / 100 g each), chopped into small pieces
- 1/2 cup (90 g) white chocolate chips (e.g., Ghirardelli), melted gently
- 1 tablespoon (14 g) butter
- Pinch of sea salt (optional)
- Optional toppings: 1/4 cup (30 g) chopped pecans or walnuts, mini marshmallows, sprinkle of cinnamon
Instructions
- Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Slice them thinly about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick. To prevent browning, toss slices in lemon juice mixed with water if desired. Arrange slices evenly on a large serving platter, slightly overlapping like a fan. (About 10 minutes)
- Chop the Snickers bars into small, bite-sized pieces for easy distribution. (3 minutes)
- Warm the caramel sauce gently in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until pourable but not boiling. Alternatively, microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring between each. (3 minutes)
- Melt the white chocolate chips and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler. Heat gently in 20-second intervals, stirring well until smooth and creamy. Avoid overheating to prevent seizing. (5 minutes)
- Drizzle the warm caramel sauce evenly over the apple slices. Sprinkle chopped Snickers pieces generously on top. Then drizzle the melted white chocolate in a zigzag pattern across the platter. (5 minutes)
- Add optional toppings such as chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, or a light dusting of cinnamon. Finish with a tiny pinch of sea salt if desired. (2 minutes)
- Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp apples with warm caramel and chocolate.
Notes
Use a double boiler to melt white chocolate for a silky texture and to avoid graininess. Toss apple slices in lemon water to prevent browning if prepping ahead. Warm caramel just enough to drizzle smoothly but not too hot to run off apples. A pinch of sea salt balances sweetness and enhances nutty flavors. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours but expect softer texture. Assemble just before serving for best freshness.
