Print Recipe

A quick and easy sweet snack featuring thinly sliced crisp apples drizzled with smooth caramel, melted chocolate, and topped with crunchy peanuts and a pinch of sea salt for a perfect balance of textures and flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large crisp apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) store-bought caramel sauce
  • ½ cup (70 g) roasted and salted peanuts, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup (90 g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • A pinch of flaky sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Slice them thinly—about ⅛ inch (3 mm) thick. Toss immediately in a mixing bowl with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to prevent browning. Set aside for a few minutes.
  2. Lay the apple slices in a single layer on your serving platter or baking sheet, slightly overlapping like classic nachos.
  3. Warm the caramel sauce slightly (about 15-20 seconds in the microwave) so it’s pourable but not hot. Drizzle the caramel evenly over the apple slices in a thin, glossy coat.
  4. Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second bursts, stirring in between until smooth and glossy, or melt over a double boiler on low heat.
  5. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel-coated apples in thin streams.
  6. Scatter the chopped peanuts generously over the top.
  7. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over everything.
  8. Serve immediately to keep the apples crisp and textures distinct. If needed, cover loosely and refrigerate for up to an hour.

Notes

Use lemon juice to prevent apple slices from browning. Warm caramel slightly for easy drizzling. Melt chocolate gently to avoid graininess. Assemble just before serving to keep apples crisp. For nut-free version, substitute peanuts with toasted pumpkin seeds or crispy rice cereal.
