"Caramel" Apple Skewers
These "Caramel" Apple Skewers are a healthier version of caramel apples since the drizzle is a source of healthy fats and protein. They make a cute, fun and healthier appetizer or snack, perfect for those parties and get togethers. You could even set up a DIY caramel apple skewer bar and customize the toppings! {Gluten-free, Paleo & Vegan}

Servings: 56 apple skewers
Calories: 54kcal
Ingredients
- 2 apples washed and diced into 1/2 inch cubes (I used Gala)
- Juice of half a lemon
- Toothpicks or wooden bamboo skewers
"Caramel" sauce:
- 3 tbsp. almond butter the drippy kind
- 2 tbsp. maple syrup
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp. water
- Pinch of salt
Toppings:
- Chopped pecans
- Sliced almonds
- Mini dark chocolate chips
- Walnut pieces
Instructions
- Wash apples and dice into 1/2 inch cubes. Place in a medium sized bowl and squeeze lemon juice over them and mix to prevent them from browning. You can also mix equal parts water and lemon juice in a small squirt bottle and spritz the apple skewers.
- Next, skewer the pieces of apple onto a toothpick. Approximately four pieces should fit on each toothpick. Place the apple skewers on a serving tray or large plate.
- In a small bowl, mix together the ingredients for the caramel sauce. Transfer the mixture into a squeeze bottle if desired.
- Using the squeeze bottle or a spoon, drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the apple skewers and sprinkle with desired toppings. Serve immediately or store in a container in the fridge for up to a day.
