Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 4 medium apples, cored and sliced
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup Snickers bars, chopped
- 1 cup whipped cream
- Chopped peanuts for garnish
Instructions
- Wash and dry the apples thoroughly, then core and slice them into uniform wedges approximately 1/2 inch thick.
- Arrange the apple slices on a large serving platter or individual dessert plates, creating an overlapping circular pattern.
- Warm the caramel sauce slightly in a microwave-safe bowl for 15-20 seconds to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Drizzle the warm caramel sauce generously over the arranged apple slices, ensuring even coverage.
- Chop the Snickers bars into small, bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife, creating a mix of chocolate, nougat, and caramel fragments.
- Sprinkle the chopped Snickers pieces evenly across the caramel-covered apple slices.
- Add dollops of whipped cream strategically around and between the apple slices.
- Garnish the dessert with a sprinkle of chopped peanuts over the top for added crunch and texture.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best combination of cool, crisp apples and rich, sweet toppings.
Tips
- Choose the Right Apples: Select firm, crisp apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith that can hold their shape and provide a perfect contrast to the sweet toppings.
- Caramel Sauce Hack: For the smoothest caramel drizzle, warm the sauce gently and use a squeeze bottle or spoon for even distribution.
- Snickers Chopping Technique: Freeze the Snickers bars for 10 minutes before chopping to make cutting easier and more precise.
- Whipped Cream Pro Tip: For the freshest taste, whip your own cream instead of using store-bought. It makes a world of difference!
- Serving Suggestion: Serve immediately after preparing to maintain the perfect texture and prevent the apples from browning.
- Make-Ahead Option: You can prep the components separately and assemble just before serving to keep everything fresh and crisp.
- Garnish Variation: Feel free to experiment with additional toppings like chocolate drizzle, extra nuts, or a sprinkle of sea salt for added complexity.
