Description
Sheet Pan Caramel Apples are a fun, no-fuss version of the classic caramel apple, featuring sliced apples drizzled with gooey caramel and loaded with customizable toppings. They’re perfect for sharing at parties or enjoying as a quick fall dessert.
Ingredients
- 4–5 apples (mix of tart and sweet varieties)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup store-bought or homemade caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or melted chocolate
- 1/4 cup crushed nuts (peanuts, pecans, or almonds)
- 2 tbsp sprinkles or crushed candy
- 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers or cookies
- Sea salt, optional for topping
Instructions
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Wash and slice apples into 1/4-inch wedges, removing seeds and cores.
- Toss slices lightly with lemon juice to prevent browning, then arrange in a single layer on the sheet pan.
- Warm caramel sauce until pourable and drizzle generously over apple slices.
- Sprinkle with desired toppings such as nuts, chocolate chips, cookie crumbs, or sprinkles.
- Let the caramel set for a few minutes, or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes for a firmer texture.
- Serve directly from the sheet pan or transfer to a platter.
Notes
- Use tart Granny Smith apples for contrast or Honeycrisp for sweetness.
- Add a drizzle of white chocolate for extra flavor.
- Try a s’mores version with marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate.
- Drizzle warmed peanut butter along with caramel for a nutty twist.
- Add seasonal sprinkles or candy canes for festive occasions.
