Description

A delectable treat combining crunchy pretzels, sweet caramel, and fresh apples for a delightful dessert.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 44 Snaps-style mini pretzels
  • 44 individually wrapped soft caramels
  • 2 Honeycrisp apples
  • Sprite or fresh lemon juice, for soaking apple pieces (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the mini pretzels in an even layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Unwrap the caramels and set one on top of each pretzel.
  3. Set oven temperature to 120°C and allow to preheat.
  4. Dice the Honeycrisp apples into small, bite-sized cubes. To prevent oxidation, soak the pieces in Sprite or lemon juice briefly, then dry thoroughly with paper towels.
  5. Bake the pretzels with caramels for 5–6 minutes, until the caramel visibly softens but does not fully melt.
  6. Insert a toothpick into each apple piece. Gently press the toothpicked apple cube down into the softened caramel, securing it to the pretzel base.
  7. Allow the assembled bites to cool at room temperature. Serve and enjoy within a few hours for best texture.

Notes

  • For a sweeter flavor, use additional caramel on top of the apple pieces.
  • These bites are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a day.
  • Experiment with different types of apples for varied flavors.
