These Caramel Apple Pretzel Bites are the perfect sweet-and-salty treat, combining crunchy pretzels, gooey caramel, and crisp apple chunks. They’re quick to make, fun to assemble, and ideal for parties, fall gatherings, or a simple snack. Let’s dive into this easy recipe!
Ingredients:
- 44 Caramels (1 bag, unwrapped)
- 44 Snaps pretzels (mini square pretzels work best)
- 2 Honeycrisp apples (or any crisp, firm apple variety like Granny Smith or Fuji)
- Sprite or lemon juice (optional, for preventing browning)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Pretzels and Caramels
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Arrange the pretzels in neat rows on the sheet.
- Unwrap all the caramels and place one caramel on top of each pretzel.
Step 2: Prepare the Apples
- Wash, core, and cut the apples into small bite-sized pieces (about ½ inch cubes).
- To prevent browning, toss the apple pieces in a bowl of Sprite or lemon juice. Drain them thoroughly and pat dry with a paper towel—this step is crucial to ensure the caramel sticks properly.
- Insert a toothpick into each apple piece to make it easier to handle later. Set aside.
