What You’ll Need

You only need three ingredients! You can get them all at most grocery stores or off Amazon.

Pretzel Snaps– The snaps have small spaces. This is key to making Caramel Apple Pretzel Bites and ensuring the caramel bits don’t fall through.

Granny Smith Apples- You can use any variety of apple, but Granny Smith compliment the sweet and salty of the pretzel and caramels well!

Caramel Bits– These are soft and oh so tasty! These would be found in the baking aisle or candy aisle at the grocery store.

How to Make Easy Caramel Apple Pretzel Bites

Expert Tips and Tricks

• Preheat your oven right when you decide to make this recipe. It can be pulled together quickly and you’ll end up waiting for it.
• I used two caramel bits per bite. This is the minimum to hold the apple and pretzel together. If you are a caramel fiend feel free to add more!
• Want to make the apples more juicy? Sprinkle a tiny bit of salt on them! This will bring out the juices.
• Not eating them immediately after making them? Sprinkle a light amount of lemon juice on the apples to help prevent them from oxidizing. Even if they do brown, don’t worry, they are still completely safe to consume!

A Word From A Registered Dietitian

A sweet treat can come in all shapes and sizes! If you love a classic caramel apple, don’t make these instead because you think they are better for you.

On another note, including fruit in your sweet treats is an awesome way to up your fruit intake and get in some naturally occuring sweetness.
