A delicious blend of caramel, apples, and pretzel twists in a perfect sweet-savory treat.

# List of Ingredients:

→ Fruits

01 - 2 Granny Smith apples, diced into bite-sized pieces
02 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

→ Confectionery

03 - 48 chocolate-covered caramel Rolos or similar candies

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Dice Granny Smith apples into small bite-sized chunks. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
02 - Place one mini pretzel twist on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone mat. Top each pretzel with one chocolate-covered caramel candy.
03 - Preheat oven to 163°C (325°F). Bake pretzels topped with caramel candies for 1 to 2 minutes, until candies soften but do not fully melt. Remove immediately from oven.
04 - Gently press diced apple pieces onto the softened caramel chocolates. Optionally brush apples with lemon juice beforehand to prevent browning.
05 - Transfer baking tray to refrigerator and chill for 15 to 20 minutes until caramel sets firmly. Serve chilled.

# Additional Suggestions:
