Instructions

Prep a large wooden board or platter, arranging small bowls for toppings.
Wash and slice apples into even ½-inch wedges.
Prevent browning by tossing in lemon juice or soaking in soda for 10 minutes, then drain.
Arrange apple slices, caramel dip, and toppings on the board. Add skewers for dipping.
Let guests dip apple slices in caramel and roll in their favorite toppings. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use both red and green apples for color and flavor contrast.

Warm the caramel slightly before serving to keep it silky.

Slice apples thinner for kids to make dipping easier.

Swap caramel with peanut butter, Nutella, or melted chocolate if desired.

Don’t worry if toppings scatter—it adds charm and fun.
