Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup store-bought caramel sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream (optional)
  • 1/4 cup roasted salted almonds
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or shavings (60-70% cacao)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries or cherries (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons crushed graham crackers or shortbread cookies (optional)
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the apples. Core and slice into 1/4-inch thick wedges. Toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  2. Warm the caramel sauce in a microwave-safe bowl for 15-20 seconds. Stir in flaky sea salt and heavy cream if using.
  3. Arrange the apple slices on a small board or plate in a fan pattern around the caramel bowl.
  4. Scatter almonds and dark chocolate chips or shavings around the apples. Add any optional add-ins like dried fruit or crushed cookies.
  5. Drizzle with honey if desired, garnish with rosemary sprigs, and sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the board.
  6. Serve immediately while apples are crisp and caramel is dippable.

Notes

Slice apples just before serving for best crunch. Warm caramel slightly for better coating. Flaky sea salt is key for flavor balance. Toast nuts for extra depth.
