If you love caramel apples but want a treat that’s much quicker to make on a weeknight, this recipe is for you! Caramel Apple Slices have all the yum but none of the hassle.

Classic Caramel Apples are, in my opinion, a pain to make. Most recipes make enough caramel to feed a small carnival and whole apples are quite difficult to bite into. Plus, most recipes call for green apples, which frankly I don’t like! This is my blog so I decided to do something a little different.

Here I sliced Honeycrisp apples (my favorite!), stuck a popsicle stick in individual slices, smothered them with chocolate, added some caramel, and then the sky’s the limit. I topped mine with chopped Halloween oreos and pecans but sprinkles and peanuts would be just as cute!

I hope you loves this no-fuss recipe. The most shocking part is how well the chocolate sticks to the apple slices and how well these keep! They were perfectly tasty two days later and the chocolate was still intact.

Caramel Apple Slices

2 Honeycrisp apples
Popsicle sticks
1/2 bag Chocolate melting wafers (or 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips + 1 tsp vegetable shortening)
Half a bag of Kraft caramels
1-3 Tbsp cream or water
Pinch salt
Optional toppings: chopped peanuts, Halloween sprinkles, crushed Oreos

1. Slice apples into 1/2″ thick slices and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels. Make a small slit in the bottom of each slice with a knife and insert popsicle stick into each slice.
2. Melt Chocolate melting wafers according to package directions until smooth. Cover apples with chocolate, set on wax paper, and pop in the fridge while you make the caramel.
3. Unwrap caramels and warm in a small sauce pan with a tablespoon of cream or water, adding more as needed for the desired consistency.
4. Drizzle caramel on each slice. Top with desired toppings such as crushed oreos, pecans, sprinkles, etc.
