Helpful Tips & More Variations

• If this dessert is one you plan on not eating all at once, I would recommend adding a teaspoon or two of lemon juice to the apples, so they don’t brown and make sure you seal the dessert well.
• You can also sauté the apples a couple minutes longer.
• If you don’t have the caramel apple Milky Ways, you can sub with Milk Way candy bars or any caramel candies, like Twix or Snickers.
• Top with some pecans or walnuts for a delicious crunchy vibe.
