2 tbsp heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

- Warm caramel sauce slightly and drizzle generously over the apple slices.
- Add toppings like nuts, chocolate chips, or sprinkles as desired.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until apples are tender and caramel bubbles.
- (Optional) Prepare caramel drizzle by heating caramel sauce and cream in a saucepan. Stir until smooth.
- Cool slightly, drizzle with extra caramel if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
Choose firmer apple varieties to maintain texture during baking.
Experiment with toppings like granola, shredded coconut, or crushed cookies for unique flavor combinations.
