Description

Caramel Apple Bark is a deliciously simple fall-inspired treat made with crisp apple slices, creamy caramel, and melted chocolate. It’s the perfect no-bake dessert that captures all the flavors of a caramel apple with an easy-to-share twist.


Ingredients

  • 2 medium apples, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup semisweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter (for melting chocolate)
  • Parchment paper (for lining)


Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on the parchment paper, overlapping slightly if needed.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
  4. Drizzle or spread the melted chocolate evenly over the apples.
  5. Warm the caramel sauce slightly if thick, then drizzle it over the chocolate-covered apples.
  6. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and sea salt (if using).
  7. Place the tray in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes, or until the bark is firm.
  8. Break into pieces and enjoy immediately or store in the fridge until serving.

Notes

  • Use Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples for the best crispness and tart flavor.
  • Best served the same day, as apples may release moisture over time.
  • Try white chocolate or dark chocolate for variety.
  • For a nut-free option, use pretzel bits or toffee pieces instead of nuts.
