Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Fresh apples (such as Fuji or Honeycrisp) – peeled, cored, and finely diced
  • High-quality caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and finely dice the apples into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and a fresh fruity base for the sauce.
  2. Cook the Apples: Place the diced apples in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until they soften and release their juices, while still retaining some texture for a pleasant bite.
  3. Add the Caramel Sauce: Pour the caramel sauce over the softened apples. Stir gently and let the mixture simmer for 3 to 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
  4. Cool and Serve: Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly; it will thicken further as it rests. Spoon generously over desserts or store in a jar for later use.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe apples for the best sweetness and flavor.
  • Cook apples slowly to avoid browning and to release natural sweetness.
  • Choose a high-quality caramel sauce to ensure a creamy, smooth texture.
  • Stir gently during cooking to keep apple chunks intact.
  • If the sauce is too thick, thin it with a splash of apple juice or water before serving.
  • For variations, consider adding cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla or almond extracts, or mixing in pear puree or toasted nuts.
