Description
Layers of crisp apple slices topped with creamy caramel-like nut butter, melted dark chocolate, nuts, and flaky sea salt create a delightful and healthy twist on classic caramel apples. This no-bake treat is perfect for a quick snack or a festive fall dessert.
Ingredients
Fruit
- 2 large apples, thinly sliced
Caramel Layer
- ¼ cup natural peanut butter or almond butter
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
Toppings
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips, melted
- 2 tbsp chopped pecans or almonds
- Flaky sea salt, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the apple slices: Arrange thinly sliced apples evenly on a sheet of parchment paper to create the base layer.
- Mix and drizzle the caramel layer: In a small bowl, combine natural peanut butter or almond butter with maple syrup until smooth. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the arranged apple slices.
- Add chocolate and nuts: Drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the nut butter layer, then sprinkle the chopped pecans or almonds on top. Finish with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt for a balanced sweet and salty flavor.
- Chill to set: Place the prepared apple bark in the refrigerator and chill for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the layers to set and the chocolate to harden slightly before serving.
Notes
- Best served fresh; refrigerate for up to 1 day to maintain crispness.
- For a fun variation, try using sliced pears instead of apples.
