Create a delicious caramel apple dipping station served with all sorts of fun toppings, perfect for a party.
Caramel Apples are so fun in the fall! Create your own dipping station or give a caramel apple gift to a friend!
The recipe below is actually for dulce de leche. I use a can of sweetened condensed milk in the Instant Pot and turn it into dulce de leche. If you prefer, you can use caramel squares or bits and melt them in the microwave stirring every 30 seconds.
Caramel and dulce de leche might look the same and taste similar, but they are actually different. While caramel is made from slowly simmering water and sugar until it caramelizes, dulce de leche is made from simmering milk and sugar until it turns into a creamy, caramelized substance.
We sliced our apples and dipped them in lemon juice so they wouldn’t turn brown. In baking cups, we put mini M&M’s, marshmallows, crushed Oreos, pretzel pieces, mini chocolate chips and you could also add nuts for dipping.
Give them as a gift!! Print out these fun fall printables and attach! I found these cute jars here.
If you like Caramel Apple Bark, you might also like chocolate covered strawberries, Sea salt chocolate chip cookies or Mini S’mores Bites. We have made this for a few years now and each season is more fun. This is my daughter that helped me with this one.
