Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together apple chunks and drained mandarin oranges and divide equally into 4 bowls or dessert dishes.

- Sprinkle with butterscotch chips.

Tips & Substitutions
For the best results, use crisp, tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice contrast with the sweetness of the caramel. If you prefer a different flavor, you can substitute the butterscotch chips with chocolate chips or nuts. For a fun variation, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a salted caramel twist.
Serving Suggestions
These caramel apples make a delightful dessert on their own, but you can also serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added creaminess. They pair beautifully with a slice of 6 Flavor Pound Cake for a more substantial treat. Garnish with extra mandarin oranges for a fresh touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The caramel may harden, but you can gently reheat the apples in the microwave for about 20 seconds to soften the caramel again. Be sure to cover them to retain moisture while reheating.
