- Pinch of salt
For the Caramel Cream Dipping Sauce:
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Apple Variety: Granny Smith apples bring a tartness that pairs perfectly with the sweet caramel sauce. For a sweeter option, Honeycrisp or Gala apples work well.
- Add a Crunch: Sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts over the caramel sauce for a delicious crunch.
- Storage Tip: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for a crispier texture.
