✔️ CARAMEL APPLE PIE PARTY MIX INGREDIENTS:
- PECANS – I like to use pecan halves.
- PRETZELS – Your favorite pretzels. I like the salty twists.
- BUTTER – I use unsalted butter so I can control the saltiness of the mix better. Use salted if that is what you have at home.
- BROWN SUGAR – I use light brown sugar.
- DRIED APPLES – This are sold in bags or in bulk. I usually get them from the bulk bins, that way I only get what I need.
- CINNAMON – Ground cinnamon.
- GRANULATED SUGAR
- CARAMEL MORSELS – you can get this in the baling aisle of any supermarket. Buy extra as you will be munching on these while making the snack mix.
🔎 How To Make Caramel Apple Pie Party Mix
This Caramel Apple Pie Trail Mix is so easy to make. I enlisted the help of my little one who always loves to join me in the kitchen. He was in charge of mixing the ingredients that coat the pecans and pretzels.
- Preheat the oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugars, cinnamon and a pinch of salt.
- Add the pecans to the butter and sugar mixture, then add the pretzels. Mix well until the mixture gets coated with the delicious sugary mixture.
- Spread the mixture on the baking sheet and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let the mixture cool for about 15 minutes.
- Stir in the dried apples and caramel chips.
After removing the pretzel/nut mixture from the oven, I had a hard time waiting for the snack mix to cool. The smell coming out of my kitchen was amazing! I wish I can say I had some self control but I would be lying. This snack mix is hard to resist!
If like me, you cannot wait for the mixture to be completely cool before adding the dried apples and caramel chips, don’t worry! Just know that the caramel morsels may melt a bit and make the snack mix a bit messy (yeah like messy melted caramel is ever a problem!)
