Don’t let the pretty image above fool you. Anyone can make this delicious appetizer. It’s such a unique one too with the sweetness of the apple and watermelon caramelized. I really cannot tell you how delicious this is, you just have to give it a try!
What You’ll Need to Make An Apple Watermelon Caramel Appetizer:
- 1 apple, use a baking variety because they stay crisp longer, (i.e. Gala, Granny Smith or Pink Lady)
- Watermelon, sliced
- Caramel sauce, drizzle
- Kosher salt, sprinkle
- Popsicle stick
How to Make An Apple Watermelon Caramel Appetizer:
1. Core apple and cut into 1/2-inch slices. To get slices perfectly round use an empty can or a 3-inch round cookie cutter. Save the top of the apple where the stem would be, this will be the final piece when you’re finished.
2. Slice watermelon into 1/2-inch slices and use a 3-inch round cookie cutter and cut out 2 or 3 slices.
3. Stack fruit on a saucer alternating between apple and watermelon slices.
4. Before capping the fruit slices with the top apple slice, drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with coarse Kosher or sea salt.
5. Place the final apple slice on top and serve.
Note: it is best to eat this apple and watermelon recipe by pulling off the slices of fruit versus trying to hold it all together on the Popsicle stick.
