1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1/4 cup crushed pretzels or nuts (optional, for garnish)

- Allow to cool and set before serving.
Notes
Use Granny Smith apples for a tart contrast to the sweet caramel.
Store in an airtight container to keep the pretzels crisp.
You can substitute dark or milk chocolate for a different flavor profile.
