Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apples
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Crispy rice cereal
- 1.5 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 spray can Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Start by preparing your ingredients: Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Core and dice the apples into small 1/4-inch pieces; set aside.
In a large, non-stick skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the diced apples to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the brown sugar, honey, ground cinnamon, and salt, and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the mixture is bubbling and caramelized.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the apple mixture to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crispy rice cereal and mini marshmallows.
Pour the warm apple mixture over the cereal and marshmallows. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold the mixture together until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Spray a 9x9-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Transfer the apple krispie mixture to the prepared dish and press it down firmly into an even layer using the back of a spoon or your hands (lightly moisten them with water to prevent sticking).
Let the Apple Krispies cool completely at room temperature for about 1 hour, or place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.
Once set, cut into 12 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
