Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Toast the almonds

Place butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted. Add almonds to the skillet and toast for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently. Add 1 tablespoon brown sugar and stir until almonds are coated and sugar is melted. Remove from heat and spread on parchment paper to cool.

2
Prepare the apples

Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Core the apples and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices.

3
Prevent browning

Place apple slices in a large bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss gently to coat all surfaces. This prevents the apples from browning.

4
Make cinnamon sugar

In a small bowl, mix remaining brown sugar with cinnamon.

5
Season the apples

Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the apple slices. Toss gently to coat evenly.

6
Make the caramel sauce

In a medium saucepan with a heavy bottom, heat granulated sugar over medium heat. Do not stir; instead, swirl the pan occasionally to ensure even melting.

7
Watch the sugar

Allow sugar to melt completely and turn amber in colour. This will take about 8-10 minutes; watch carefully to prevent burning.

8
Add butter to caramel

Once sugar is completely melted and amber-colored, carefully add butter. Whisk vigorously until butter is melted and incorporated. The mixture will bubble up, so be cautious.

9
Add cream to caramel

Remove from heat and slowly pour in heavy cream while whisking constantly. The mixture will bubble vigorously again. Continue whisking until smooth

10
Add flavor to caramel

Stir in vanilla extract and salt. Allow caramel to cool slightly for 5 minutes.

11
Arrange apple slices

Divide the apple slices among 4 serving plates or bowls. Arrange in a circular pattern or fan shape.

12
Drizzle with caramel

While still warm, drizzle the caramel sauce over the apple slices. Reserve some caramel for the final drizzle.

13
Add chocolate chips

Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the caramel-coated apples. The warm caramel will slightly melt the chocolate chips.

14
Add granola

Sprinkle granola over each serving.

15
Add toasted almonds

Sprinkle the cooled, candied almonds over each serving.

16
Final caramel drizzle

Drizzle any remaining caramel sauce over the top of each serving.

17
Serve immediately

Serve while the caramel is still warm and slightly gooey. Provide forks or small dessert spoons for eating.
