Why We Love This Recipe

Making caramel apples can be time-consuming and a lot of work. Here are a few reasons we like to serve sheet pan caramel apples instead.

  • Kids love this as an afternoon snack and activity, especially during sweater weather.
  • There's no guess work to when and how to add your toppings, because unlike a whole dipped apple, the toppings have no where to slide off!
  • You can make a whole batch on a single sheet pan that feeds a lot of people in just minutes.
  • There's a whole lot more caramel and toppings to each apple slice.
  • Sprinkle various toppings into different sections to please every appetite!

If you want to make traditional caramel apples, try our Crock-Pot Caramel Apples recipe!

Equipment for this Recipe

It only takes a few items to make this recipe. First, you need a sharp knife and cutting board to slice the apples, and a microwave safe bowl to melt the caramel bits. Then, you need a large baking sheet or jelly roll pan to place the sliced apples before pouring the indulgent caramel sauce over top. Make sure it's rimmed so the sauce doesn't drip off!

Instructions

Even though we're using a baking sheet, there is no baking time or need for an oven. To make sheet pan caramel apples, melt caramel bits in the microwave with a little cream, then pour evenly over the apple slices. Top sections with candy, chocolate chips, crushed pretzels, etc. and then let it cool a few minutes before everyone digs in. That's it!

When we make caramel apples, we prefer granny smith apples. The tartness of the apples combined with the sweetness of the caramel is an indulgent treat. Large to medium apples work best, cut into about 12 slices each. Do not peel the apples!

Various Toppings

You can get creative with the caramel apple toppings. We tend to grab whatever might be in our pantry and needs to be used up. Some of our favorite toppings are:

  • Mini chocolate chips
  • White chocolate chips
  • Toffee bits
  • Crushed pretzels (pair these with the toffee bits and you will thank me!)
  • M&M's
  • Crushed or chopped candy bars

For an even more delicious take on this fantastic recipe, drizzle melted white chocolate over the toppings. This takes it to the next-level!

We lightly spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray to keep the caramel from sticking. You can use parchment paper or wax paper, but I find it easier to just use the spray.
