Ingredients
Directions
-
Prepare the apples. Wash and dry the Granny Smith apples thoroughly. Slice each apple into 3–4 thick wedges, removing the core and seeds.
-
Prevent browning. Lightly brush the cut sides of the apples with lemon juice. Let them sit for a few minutes, then pat them completely dry with paper towels. This is important so the caramel will stick.
-
Make the cinnamon crunch. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Set aside.
-
Prepare the pan. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
-
Melt the caramel. Add the caramel bits and heavy cream to a saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
-
Dip the apple slices. Working one at a time, dip each apple slice into the warm caramel, leaving a little green peel and apple showing. Let the excess caramel drip back into the pan.
-
Add the cinnamon crunch. While the caramel is still soft, gently press the caramel-coated portion into the cinnamon-graham cracker mixture.
-
Let them set. Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for about 10 minutes, until the caramel begins to firm.
-
Drizzle with white chocolate. Melt the white chocolate according to package directions. Thin with a little coconut oil or shortening if needed, then drizzle over the apple slices.
-
Add the finishing touch. Sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt while the white chocolate is still soft.
-
Chill. Refrigerate for another 10 minutes, or until the toppings are set.
-
Serve. These are best served the same day while the apples are crisp and fresh. đđŻ

đ„¶ STORAGE
• Refrigerator: Store Caramel Apple Slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Separate Layers: Place parchment or wax paper between layers to keep the caramel and toppings from sticking together.
• Best the Same Day: For the crispest apples and prettiest appearance, these are best enjoyed the day they're made.
• Before Serving: Let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften the caramel slightly.
• Freezing: Freezing is not recommended because the apples can become watery and lose their crisp texture after thawing. đđŻ
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I make Caramel Apple Slices ahead of time?
-
Yes, but they’re best the same day. You can make them a few hours ahead and keep them refrigerated until serving.
-
How do I keep the apple slices from turning brown?
-
Lightly brush the cut sides with lemon juice, then pat them completely dry before dipping in caramel.
-
Why is the caramel sliding off my apple slices?
-
Too much moisture is usually the problem. Make sure the apple slices are very dry and use warm, not overly hot, caramel.
-
What are the best apples to use?
-
Granny Smith apples work especially well because they’re crisp, tart, and balance the sweetness of the caramel and toppings.
-
Can I use different toppings?
-
Absolutely. Chopped nuts, sprinkles, crushed cookies, mini chocolate chips, or different chocolate drizzles all work well.

How to Get Caramel to Stick to Apple Slices
Caramel apple slices can be a little tricky because caramel doesn’t naturally want to stick to the moist cut surface of an apple. The secret is to cut the apples into thick slices, lightly treat them with lemon juice, and then pat them extremely dry before dipping. Follow the step-by-step tutorial below for caramel that stays on the apple instead of sliding right off. đđŻ
