Caramel Apple Pretzel Salad

This Caramel Apple Pretzel Salad recipe is a delicious way to enjoy a taste of fall with crunchy apples, candied pretzels, and sweet caramel sauce.

When it’s apple season, we enjoy eating as many apples as we can in as many ways as we can. It’s fun to buy different varieties to see which one is our favorite. A visit to an apple orchard offers up the most choices.

This Caramel Apple Pretzel Salad is my own fun spin on the apple snicker’s salad recipe and is the fall version of my Strawberry Pecan Pretzel Salad. Instead of the snickers, I added sugared toffee pretzels!

How To Make Caramel Apple Pretzel Salad

Start by making the sugared toffee pretzels for the salad. Put brown sugar, chopped pretzels and chopped pecans in a bowl.

Pour in melted butter and mix everything together.

Spread the mixture on a large baking sheet with sides (I used my jelly roll pan). Bake at 400 degrees for 7 minutes.

Allow the mixture to cool and then break it into small pieces.

Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Then, beat in the caramel sauce until smooth.

Fold in the whipped topping. Cut enough apples to make three cups. I used two large apples.

Mix the cooled pretzels into the salad.

Scoop into small bowls and top with a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Caramel Apple Pretzel Salad

This salad is best when eaten right away, so make it the same day you plan to serve it. You can keep the sugared pretzels, cream cheese mixture, and diced apples separate until ready to serve.
