Ingredients

  • Apples: 4 large cleaned and de-stemmed
  • Semisweet Chocolate Chips: 1 cup 175 grams
  • Creamy Peanut Butter: 1/2 cup 125 grams
  • Caramels: 1 cup packed, 200 grams
  • Water: 2 tablespoons 30 ml
  • Crushed Peanuts: 1/4 cup for garnish, 60 grams
  • Popsicle Sticks: 4
  • Preparation and Cooking Time: Approximately 45 minutes

Instructions

  • Start by inserting a popsicle stick into the top of each apple, ensuring it’s secure and doesn’t wobble.
  • Over a double boiler, melt the caramels and water, stirring frequently until the mixture becomes smooth.
  • Once melted, dip each apple into the caramel mixture, making sure they are fully coated.
  • Allow the excess caramel to drip off, then place the coated apples onto a parchment-lined tray.
  • In another double boiler, melt the chocolate chips, stirring until smooth.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the peanut butter for about 30 seconds or until it becomes runny.
  • Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel-coated apples using a spoon or a piping bag.
  • Follow this by drizzling the runny peanut butter over the apples.
  • Finally, sprinkle the crushed peanuts on top for an added crunch.
  • Allow the Chocolate Peanut Butter Caramel Apples to set in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until the coatings are firm.

Notes

For a smoother finish, ensure the apples are completely dry before dipping them.
You can use a variety of apples. Green apples work well for a tangy contrast.
Store the Chocolate Peanut Butter Caramel Apples in the fridge if not consuming immediately. They’ll stay fresh for up to 5 days.
If you find your peanut butter too thick, a little warm milk can be added to achieve the desired consistency.
These Chocolate Peanut Butter Caramel Apples make for a visually appealing centerpiece at parties.
Slice them into wedges for easy sharing.
Consider serving alongside a warm beverage like hot chocolate or herbal tea for a cozy treat.
For an extra layer of decadence, you can pair these apples with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
