Epic Snickers-Inspired Apple Rings

happy apple week day two!! today, we’re diving into a scrumptious treat that’s as easy to make as it is to enjoy: Epic Snickers-Inspired Apple Rings!

these out of control delicious apple rings combine the crispness of honeycrisp apples with a rich and gooey date peanut butter caramel, all topped off with a decadent drizzle of melted chocolate, a sprinkle of chopped peanuts, and a pinch of sea salt.

if that doesn’t sound absolutely amazing, then i am not sure what does!

Epic Snickers-Inspired Apple Rings can easily make four servings, so one ring each!

if you’re looking to serve more people, then you can always double the recipe :).

the taste of these epic snickers-inspired apple rings is an explosion of flavors in every bite.

the natural sweetness of honeycrisp apples is complemented by the creamy, nutty goodness of the date peanut butter caramel.

the addition of chopped peanuts adds a satisfying crunch, while the melted chocolate and sea salt elevate the overall taste to a new level of indulgence.

it’s the perfect balance of sweet, salty, creamy, and crunchy!!

apple variety options:

when it comes to making these epic snickers-inspired apple rings, you have some flexibility in choosing your apple variety. while honeycrisp apples are the best choice in my opinion due to their sweet, crisp, and slightly tart flavor, there are other options you can try as well.

fuji apples: if you prefer a sweeter apple with a firm texture, fuji apples are an excellent alternative. their natural sweetness pairs great with the caramel and chocolate.

gala apples: gala apples offer a milder sweetness and a thinner skin. they’re crisp and juicy too!

pink lady apples: for a perfect balance of sweet and tart, pink lady apples are a great option. their vibrant flavor adds a unique twist to the recipe.

granny smith apples: if you lean towards a more tart and tangy profile, granny smith apples can provide a nice contrast to the sweet caramel and chocolate.

the choice of apple variety ultimately depends on your personal preference and what you have on hand. feel free to experiment with different apple types to discover your favorite combination of flavors and textures for these Epic Snickers-Inspired Apple Rings.

while these epic snickers-inspired apple rings are undoubtedly a good treat a day later, they are at their absolute best when savored on the same day they are prepared.

here’s why: apple freshness: apples have a tendency to oxidize and turn brown when exposed to air. eating them on the same day ensures you experience the crisp, fresh texture and vibrant color of the apple rings!
