How to Make Caramel Apple Slices – Sweet and Easy!
Step 1: Prep the Apples
Wash and thoroughly dry the apples. Slice each apple into thick ½-inch slices and remove any seeds. Insert a stick into the bottom of each slice.
Step 2: Melt the Caramel
In a small saucepan, heat caramels and cream over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and melted. Let cool slightly so it thickens just a bit.
Step 3: Dip the Apple Slices
Dip each apple slice into the caramel, coating evenly. Let the excess drip off, then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 4: Add Toppings
While the caramel is still soft, sprinkle your favorite toppings or drizzle with melted chocolate.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the slices for 10–15 minutes to set. Serve chilled or at room temperature — and enjoy without the sticky struggle of a whole caramel apple!

Caramel Apple Slices – Sweet, Crunchy, and Perfect for Fall
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Slice each apple into ½-inch thick wedges. Pat them dry again — moisture prevents caramel from sticking!
- Insert a wooden stick into the base of each apple slice. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat it with nonstick spray.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine caramels and heavy cream. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and creamy.
- Dip each slice halfway into the warm caramel, allowing any excess to drip off. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- While the caramel is still soft, sprinkle or drizzle your favorite toppings — nuts, sprinkles, or a swirl of melted chocolate.
- Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes, just until the caramel sets. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
