Ingredients
- 4-6 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 cup granola
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Whipped cream (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for preventing browning)
Instructions
- Wash and slice apples into thin wedges.
- Arrange apple slices on a large serving platter or parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Evenly sprinkle granola over apple slices.
- Drizzle caramel sauce generously over apples and granola.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips and chopped nuts over the top.
- Dust entire platter with cinnamon.
- Serve with whipped cream on the side if desired.

Notes
Substitute apples with pears for a different twist. Use dairy-free caramel sauce and whipped cream for a vegan option. To prevent apple slices browning, toss them immediately in lemon juice. Make ahead by prepping all ingredients separately and assembling just before serving to maintain crispness. If caramel hardens, warm slightly before drizzling. For crunch alternatives, use almonds or cashews.
