Tips:

  • For a gooey caramel layer, use a combination of brown sugar and granulated sugar. The brown sugar will add a rich molasses flavor, while the granulated sugar will help the caramel to set.
  • To prevent the caramel from burning, stir it constantly over medium heat. Once it starts to bubble, reduce the heat to low and continue stirring until it reaches a deep amber color.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the doneness of the caramel by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it's ready.
  • To make sure the apple layer is evenly cooked, slice the apples thinly and arrange them in a single layer in the baking dish.
  • The streusel topping adds a delicious crunchy texture to the dessert. If you don't have any on hand, you can make your own by combining flour, sugar, butter, and cinnamon.
  • Serve the caramel apple dessert squares warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Caramel apple dessert squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a gooey caramel layer, a sweet apple filling, and a crunchy streusel topping, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a dessert that's both delicious and impressive, give caramel apple dessert squares a try.
