Caramel Apple Bark


  • Author: Garianne Gagliardi

Ingredients

Scale

1 to 2 Granny Smith or other apples

Juice of ½ medium lemon

(1 tablespoon)

6 cunces milk chocolate chips (dark and white chocolate also work)

2 cups small-size salted pretzels, or enough to cover the chocolate surface

1 cup caramel sauce


Instructions

  1.   Core and chop the apples (but leave the peel on). Place the pieces in a large bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning,
  2.   Line a rimmed baking sheet at least 10 by 12 inches with parchment paper. Melt the chocolate chips in a small saucepan over low heat on the stovetop, or in a microwave-safe bowl at 30-second intervals in the microwave. Spread all but about 1 tablespoon of the melted chocolate over the parchment into a 10 by 12-inch rectangle.
  3.   Scatter pretzels in an even layer on the surface of the chocolate.

4. Place the caramel sauce in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 20 seconds, then spread all but about 1 tablespoon over the pretzels.

5. Top with the apple pieces. Drizzle the reserved chocolate and caramel over the bark. Freeze until hardened, at least 2 hours. To serve, break with a clean hammer (fun way) or chef’s knife (more normal way. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.
