Ingredients
-
2 green apples, chopped into bite-sized pieces
-
1 package (approx. 200 g) mini pretzel twists
-
1 package (approx. 280 g) Rolo candies
-
Toothpicks
-
Optional: lemon juice (to prevent browning)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Arrange pretzel twists in a single layer on the sheet.
-
Top each pretzel with a Rolo candy.
-
Bake for 3–4 minutes until the Rolos soften slightly.
-
While baking, chop apples into small chunks. Optionally, toss with lemon juice to keep fresh.
-
Remove pretzels from the oven. Using a toothpick, skewer an apple chunk and gently press it into the softened Rolo.
-
Allow bites to cool for a few minutes to set. Serve immediately.
Notes
Best enjoyed the day they’re made, while pretzels remain crisp.
To prep ahead, bake the Rolo pretzels and add apples just before serving.
Add pecan halves before the apple for a nutty twist.
Store in the fridge for up to 1 day, but pretzels may soften.
