The fall festivities have begun which means you need some autumn snacks to celebrate! Consider baking a pan of these insanely delicious caramel stuffed apples for your next fall gathering.

Hip Tips for making the yummiest baked caramel apples:
- You can make this recipe with either green or red apples! I think BOTH are yummy, so I’d just go with the type of apple your family would prefer or what you find on sale at the store.
- These Kraft wrapped caramel candies melted beautifully. And since they are individually wrapped, I asked my kids to unwrap them for me and then let them (and myself!) enjoy a few as a thank you. 😀
- I loved using this pumpkin pie spice I made on these baked apples onlineplete with cinnamon, ginger, clove, and nutmeg. You can also purchase store-bought pumpkin spice if preferred.
- The chocolate drizzle and toffee bar crumbs are optional but oh so yummy. Feel free to skip if you’re going for a little less sweetness. I think adding chopped nuts or another favorite candy bar would be great too!
- To save on time, you can buy pre-chopped toffee bits to avoid having to crush up the toffee bar yourself!

Roasted spiced apples get stuffed with caramel candies and drizzled with melted chocolate for a delicious fall treat!
Ingredients
- 3 apples
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 cup water
- 18 soft caramel candies
- chocolate bar or chocolate chips, for melted chocolate drizzle (optional)
- Heath candy bar, for chopped toffee topping (optional)
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cut each apple in half from the top down.
2
Scoop out the core and a bit of the inside of the apple using a melon baller. Place all the apples in a 2-quart casserole dish.
3
Brush the top (cored side up) of all the apples with melted butter. Sprinkle sugar and pumpkin pie spice over the top. Pour a little water into the pan to help steam apples.
4
Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes for medium apples like mine. Bake larger apples for a total of 20 minutes. Take the apples out of the oven.
5
Place 2-3 pieces of caramel candies in the middle of each apple, depending on the size of your apple. Return to bake for another 10-15 minutes until caramel is melted.
6
Chop the chocolate bar into pieces and place into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds until melted. Stir and then drizzle over the apples.
7
Chop the Heath candy bar or use Heath toffee bits and sprinkle the crumbs over the apples. Enjoy!
