Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, these baked pumpkin spice apple slices paired with a homemade caramel sauce are perfect for healthy snacking.
Get your dipping fingers ready! Imagine sweet apples bathed in buttery almond flour baked in the oven to crisp perfection. Every bite packs a soft apple sweetness — it’s like eating mini, dip-able apple pies!
For the dipping, I have this irresistible homemade caramel sauce made with just two ingredients: coconut milk mixed with coconut sugar. This decadent, creamy sauce pairs perfectly with the soft oven-baked apple slices.
The key to making these apple snacks crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside is baking them at a high temperature. That way, the inside stays perfectly soft while the outside gets a crunchy coating.

Another tip to keeping them nice and crispy, is keeping the skin on the apples. It’s gives them more structure for the batter to hold onto when they bake. That also makes them more dip-able and believe me, you want them dip-able for that caramel sauce!
These pumpkin spice baked apple slices are truly finger-licking good. Perfect for a party appetizer or healthy snack, and guaranteed to make your sweet tooth dreams true!
