These Caramel Apple Pretzel Bites are the ultimate sweet-and-salty snack — crisp pretzels, gooey caramel, fresh apple, and creamy white chocolate all in one irresistible bite. They capture the cozy flavors of caramel apples with the crunch of pretzels, making them perfect for fall gatherings, holiday trays, or anytime you’re craving something indulgent yet easy.
Each bite delivers a balance of textures and flavors: salty crunch from the pretzels, soft melted caramel, a pop of fresh apple, and a smooth chocolate finish. They’re simple to assemble, fun to make, and disappear fast once served.
Ingredients
- 30 mini pretzels
- 15 soft caramel candies, halved
- 15 apple slices, thinly sliced
- 1 cup white chocolate, melted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar, for garnish
- Crushed pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Assemble the Base: Arrange half of the mini pretzels evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Place one halved caramel candy in the center of each pretzel.
- Add Apple: Gently press a thin apple slice on top of each caramel. Keep the slices small and thin so they soften slightly without releasing too much moisture.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 3–5 minutes, just until the caramel begins to soften and melt. Do not overbake — the pretzels should remain crisp.
- Top & Press: Remove from the oven and immediately place another pretzel on top of each bite, gently pressing down to create a small sandwich and spread the caramel.
