Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
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.
Prepare the apples
Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Core the apples and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices.
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.
Make cinnamon sugar
In a small bowl, mix remaining brown sugar with cinnamon.
Season the apples
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the apple slices. Toss gently to coat evenly.
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.
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.
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.
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
Add flavor to caramel
Stir in vanilla extract and salt. Allow caramel to cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Arrange apple slices
Divide the apple slices among 4 serving plates or bowls. Arrange in a circular pattern or fan shape.
Drizzle with caramel
While still warm, drizzle the caramel sauce over the apple slices. Reserve some caramel for the final drizzle.
Add chocolate chips
Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the caramel-coated apples. The warm caramel will slightly melt the chocolate chips.
Add granola
Sprinkle granola over each serving.
Add toasted almonds
Sprinkle the cooled, candied almonds over each serving.
Final caramel drizzle
Drizzle any remaining caramel sauce over the top of each serving.
Serve immediately
Serve while the caramel is still warm and slightly gooey. Provide forks or small dessert spoons for eating.
