Tips
Apple choices: Experiment with different apple varieties. Tart apples like Granny Smith balance out the sweetness nicely.
Get creative with toppings: Add mini marshmallows, chopped pecans, a drizzle of white chocolate, or other fun toppings you like.
Make variations: Try peanut butter instead of caramel for a twist!
Prevent apple browning: If preparing in advance, toss the sliced apples with a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning.
