16 Caramel-Apple Desserts

Caramel and apple. A flavor pairing that dates back to the 1950s when caramel apples were invented by a Kraft Foods employee. Today, this flavor combination has gone well beyond apples on a stick (who has time for sticky chins anyways), and is associated with fall festivals and country hayrides. From caramel apple bars to pies to french toast—there are never enough ways to enjoy this classic flavor pairing (the same cannot be said for pumpkin spice). So cozy up with a warm glass of cider and read on for 15 caramel apple desserts to indulge this fall.

Dip fresh fall apples in this cream cheese and caramel dip topped chunks of English toffee. It requires just 10 minutes of prep and five simple ingredients. Reviewer shecancook says, "I've only participated in eating this, and eating this, and eating this. Highly addictive so I am actually a little afraid of making it myself and will only indulge at large gatherings."

Caramel Apple Dip

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Fall is the perfect time of year to enjoy fresh, juicy apples picked straight from the tree. Make it a dessert with this caramel dip that only requires 4 ingredients! Reviewer CINDYSI says, "Scrumptious! I love caramel apples but they can be a little hard to eat (not something you would serve at a party). Solution: the flavor of this recipe is very close to caramel apples, but it is easy to make and easy to serve to a group."

Disappearing Caramel Apple Bars

Reviewer Melissa Goff says, "You can NOT have these cookie bars without the caramel drizzle. It's a must as I was told by everyone. Really easy recipe. Everyone enjoyed these." Recipe creator Christina Kloehn recommends refrigerating the bars before cutting them, as they'll cut more easily after being chilled.

Chef John's Caramel Apple Pie

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Chef John says, "To me, this is the purest and most intensely flavored apple pie recipe there is. The interesting thing about this recipe is the way the caramel sauce is poured over the apples and the lattice crust. You know how with a traditional apple pie some of the apple juices will caramelize as it bakes and bubble out of the pie and bake into and onto the flaky crust? That's how this whole pie is."
