Sheet Pan Caramel Apples

Crisp apple slices drizzled with rich caramel and melted chocolate, then topped with nuts, mini marshmallows, sprinkles, and crushed graham crackers for a shareable, festive fall dessert. No sticks, no mess—just pure autumn magic!


Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • 🍏 Family-Friendly Fun: Kids can help decorate for a hands-on activity.
  • 🥄 Minimal Cleanup: One sheet pan and parchment paper is all you need.
  • 🎨 Customizable: Use your favorite toppings—nuts, candy, sprinkles, or even coconut.
  • ⏱️ Quick & Easy: Ready in under 20 minutes, faster than traditional caramel apples.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • 4 large apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji), sliced into thin wedges
  • 250 ml caramel sauce
  • 85 g chocolate chips, melted

Toppings:

  • 40 g chopped peanuts or other nuts
  • 15 g mini marshmallows
  • 15 g sprinkles (optional)
  • 20 g crushed graham crackers (optional)
  • 1 g sea salt (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Apples: Wash and dry apples. Slice into thin wedges (~½ inch) and arrange in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
  2. Drizzle Caramel: Warm caramel sauce for 15–20 seconds until pourable. Drizzle evenly over apple slices.
  3. Add Chocolate: Melt chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over the caramel-coated apples.
  4. Top & Decorate: Scatter chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, sprinkles, and crushed graham crackers over the apples. Press larger toppings lightly to help them stick.
  5. Set & Serve: Let the caramel and chocolate cool for a few minutes until slightly firm. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt if desired. Serve straight from the pan.

Tips & Tricks

  • Best Apples: Use firm, crisp varieties like Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Fuji for a perfect sweet-tart balance.
  • Nut-Free Options: Swap nuts for sunflower seeds, crushed pretzels, or extra mini marshmallows.
  • Make Ahead: Prep toppings in advance and drizzle caramel right before serving for maximum freshness.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve on a platter for parties or in cupcake liners for easy snacking.

Storage

  • Store leftovers in a single layer in an airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper.
  • Best eaten the day they’re made; refrigeration may soften the apples.

Fun Fact

Sheet pan caramel apples are a modern twist on the classic treat from the early 1900s—perfect for capturing all the nostalgia with less mess.
