While making a basic caramel apple is fun, our favorite part, of course, is embellishing each apple with exciting ingredients. If you need a little inspiration for choosing the perfect toppings, we’ve got you covered. Check out these 18 ways to dress up your homemade caramel apples.
Melted Chocolate Drizzle
Here is a simple way to pretty up your apples. After they have cooled and slightly hardened, melt chocolate and place it in a squeeze bottle. Drizzle the apple with melted chocolate and create a lovely looking snack.
Mini Marshmallows
You can carefully place a handful of marshmallows on the caramel-coated apple. You’ll have the best combination of crisp and tart mixed with light and fluffy.
S’mores Caramel Apple
Bonfires are always a fun fall activity and often involve cooking s’mores over the open flame. If you’d like a caramel apple version, try this one. After dipping your apple in caramel, drizzle melted chocolate and add crushed graham cracker and mini marshmallows to create a s’mores treat.
Crushed Candy Bar
Place your candy bar in a plastic baggie; then use a rolling pin to crush the bar. You can do this by rolling or lightly tapping the rolling pin over the candy bar. Either sprinkle or dip your apple right in the crushed candy.
Chopped Nuts
This one is a classic for caramel apples. You can use peanuts, cashews, walnuts, or even pecans. After your apple is coated with caramel, dip it in a bowl of chopped nuts and enjoy. For a sweet and savory flair, try dipping in salted nuts.
White Chocolate Spider Web
If you’re hoping for a little bit of a spooky twist, create a white chocolate spider web. Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and pour it into a squeeze bottle. Then carefully draw lines from the center of the apple, where the stick is located. After you draw several vertical lines, connect each with a curved line as pictured above.
