Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups sweet, firm apples (such as Fuji or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and finely chopped
  • 1 cup high-quality caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and finely chop your apples so they cook evenly and break down smoothly into the sauce, enhancing the natural sweetness and texture.
  2. Cook the Apples: Place chopped apples in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook them until they’re tender and starting to soften, about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  3. Add the Caramel Sauce: Once the apples are tender, pour in your caramel sauce and stir well to combine. Let the mixture simmer gently for another 3-5 minutes so the flavors meld beautifully and the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Blend (Optional): If you prefer a smooth sauce, use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until silky. For a chunkier feel, simply leave it as is.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before serving. This sauce can be served warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use fresh apples for better flavor and smoother sauce texture.
  • Cook on medium to low heat to avoid burning the caramel or apples.
  • Stir often to keep the sauce from sticking and to ensure even cooking.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding a little honey or maple syrup if desired.
  • Best enjoyed the same day for optimal flavor and texture.
