Ingredients

1 large Granny Smith apple , cored
1 large Honey Crisp or Pink Lady apple , cored
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup Kraft caramel squares , unwrapped
1 tablespoon heavy cream
3 tablespoons chocolate hot fudge (not chocolate syrup - it's too runny)
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
1/4 cup crushed nuts (peanuts, almonds, cashews, etc)

Instructions

Slice each apple into 8 equal pieces. Place them in a bowl with some cold water and the lemon juice; toss, then pat completely dry. This helps prevent browning - it will not make the apples taste like lemon.
Arrange apple slices in a circular pattern onto a round serving platter, alternating between the different colors.
In the meantime, place caramels in a microwave-safe bowl with the heavy cream. Microwave in 20 second intervals until just melted. Drizzle warm caramel over apples. Then hot fudge over the apples.
Sprinkle with the mini chocolate chips, followed by the crushed nuts.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
NOTE: If you can find the hot fudge in a squeeze bottle, it makes it super easy to drizzle over the apples. If the hot fudge is in a jar, you might need to warm it slightly in the microwave, to get it to drizzling consistency.
