Ingredients

🍏 5 Granny Smith apples, washed and dried
🍏 5 sticks
🍬 2 cups caramel bits
🍫 2 cups chocolate chips
💧 A couple of tablespoons of water
🍪 1/2 cup crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies
🍬 1/2 cup mini M&Ms
🌰 1/2 cup crushed almonds

Instructions

1- Prepare the Apples:

• Insert a stick into the top of each apple using a meat tenderizer if needed for assistance.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

2- Melt the Caramel:

• Place the caramel bits in a microwave-safe bowl and add a couple of tablespoons of water.
• Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.

3- Coat the Apples with Caramel:

• Dip each apple into the melted caramel, rotating to coat thoroughly.
• Let the excess drip off, then place the apples on the prepared baking sheet.
• Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until the caramel hardens.

4- Melt the Chocolate:

• While the apples chill, microwave the chocolate chips in a separate bowl for 1.5 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth.

5- Dip in Chocolate:

• Once the caramel has set, dip each caramel-coated apple in the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.

6- Apply Toppings:

• Immediately roll or sprinkle the chocolate-dipped apples with your choice of crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies, mini M&Ms, or crushed almonds until fully coated.

7- Set the Apples:

• Return the apples to the parchment paper and refrigerate until the chocolate firms up.
• Trim any drippings if desired.
