Ingredients
- 3–4 apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Fuji, Pink Lady), sliced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (to prevent browning)
- 1/2 cup caramel dip (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup chocolate sauce or ganache
- 1/2 cup peanut butter or almond butter
- 1/2 cup cream cheese dip or marshmallow fluff
- 1/4 cup crushed peanuts or pecans
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/4 cup toffee bits
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup sprinkles
- 1/4 tsp sea salt flakes
- 1/4 cup crushed pretzels
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
- Optional: small skewers or toothpicks
Instructions
- Wash and slice the apples just before serving. Toss slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Arrange the apple slices on a large platter or wooden board, grouping by variety if desired.
- Place caramel, chocolate, peanut butter, and cream cheese dips in small bowls or ramekins. Position them around the board.
- Fill additional small bowls with the toppings and arrange around the apples and dips.
- Add optional extras like skewers, napkins, or small tongs for easy dipping.
- Serve immediately and let guests dip apple slices and decorate with toppings to their liking.
Notes
- Use a mix of tart and sweet apple varieties for flavor contrast.
- Keep caramel warm using a fondue pot or bowl over warm water.
- Slice apples just before serving or store in lemon water to prevent browning.
- Customize with any dips or toppings you love—cookies, cereals, or dried fruit work great too.
- Offer napkins or small plates for cleaner dipping and topping.
