Caramel Apple Skewer Bar

Caramel Apple Skewer Bar

An adorable (and delicious) way to end your Rosh Hashana meal—or any meal, really.

Serves: 6–8
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Level: Easy peasy (kid-approved, grown-up loved)


Ingredients:

  • 4–5 apples, sliced into thick wedges (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith work beautifully)

  • 1 cup soft caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

  • Wooden skewers or popsicle sticks

Topping Options:
(Use a few or go wild—this is a “choose your own adventure” moment)

  • Mini M&Ms

  • Mini Reese’s Pieces

  • Sprinkles

  • Granola

  • Chopped walnuts

  • Raisins


Directions:

  1. Prep Your Apples:
    Slice apples into wedges and insert a skewer or stick into each piece. Arrange on a platter.

  2. Create Your Dipping Station:
    Pour the caramel sauce into a medium bowl. Surround it with small bowls filled with your toppings of choice. (Tip: muffin tins work great for this if you’re short on serving bowls!)

  3. Dip & Decorate:
    Dip each apple slice into the caramel, then roll or sprinkle with your toppings. There’s no wrong way to do this—only delicious ones.

  4. Serve Immediately:
    This is a hands-on dessert, so be ready with napkins and big smiles. Great for keeping the holiday joy going, one sticky bite at a time.


Make It Yours:
Swap in melted chocolate for caramel, add coconut flakes, crushed pretzels, or even drizzle with honey for a traditional twist.
