Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 4 apples, thinly sliced
- Juice of 1 lemon (for tossing to prevent browning)
Sauces
- ½ cup caramel sauce, warmed
- ½ cup chocolate sauce, warmed
Toppings
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup crushed pretzels
Instructions
- Prep apples: Toss the thinly sliced apples lightly in lemon juice to prevent browning. Arrange the apple slices evenly on a large platter, mimicking the layout of nacho chips for a fun presentation.
- Drizzle sauces: Warm the caramel and chocolate sauces slightly. Pour each over the arranged apple slices in thin, even streams, ensuring good coverage but maintaining an appealing look.
- Top platter: Evenly sprinkle mini marshmallows and crushed pretzels over the drizzled apple slices to add texture and flavor contrast.
- Serve immediately: This platter is best enjoyed fresh to preserve the crunch of the apples and pretzels. Serve right away for optimal taste and texture.
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice balance of sweet and tangy flavors.
- Warming the sauces slightly helps them drizzle smoothly over the apples.
- Lemon juice prevents apple slices from browning, keeping the presentation fresh and appetizing.
- Serve immediately as the marshmallows may soften and the apples may lose crunch over time.
- This dish is naturally gluten-free if using gluten-free pretzels.
