Healthy Apple S’mores

You want healthy s’mores but don’t want to sacrifice the classic gooey marshmallow? Try these caramel apple s’mores for a fun twist on the classic!

It’s so delicious no one will feel like they are missing out, so don’t be surprised when your family asks for these instead of regular s’mores.

Healthier Alternative to S’mores 

These apple s’mores make an epic and healthier alternative to classic s’mores. Instead of graham crackers, the gooey toasted marshmallow and melted chocolate caramel bits get sandwiched between two Granny Smith apple slices. 

It’s so many incredible flavors in one bite, and these make a great allergy-friendly treat for your family or when you have guests. They are gluten-free (check the marshmallow ingredients), and who doesn’t love the combination of chocolate and caramel?

If graham crackers aren’t a problem, you could also try my Roasted Strawberry S’mores recipe; it’s another hit when you need something chocolately and sweet without turning on the oven.

Healthy Apple S’more Ingredients 

Here’s everything you need to make these healthy apple s’mores happen:  

  • Apples: use tart-sweet apple varieties such as Granny Smith, Pink Lady, or Honey Crisp. 
  • Chocolate toffee pieces: the chocolate-caramel pieces taste amazing with melted marshmallows, but you can also make these with regular milk chocolate pieces. 
  • Large marshmallow: toasted to your preference and sandwiched between the apple and chocolate. 

BTW: you can also use homemade marshmallows for these!

If you want to prep the apples beforehand, prevent the fresh apple slices from browning by soaking them in a solution of water and fresh citrus juice (lemon and pineapple juice work great).

How to Cut Apples for S’mores 

Use a sharp kitchen knife or mandolin to cut the apples into thin rounds; they should be about ⅓-inch thick. You want them thick enough to hold the s’mores stuffing but not so thick all you are eating is an apple.

To do this with a sharp knife, place the apple upright on a flat surface, and use the knife to make the slices. You can skip over the core section, or carefully slice through it and remove the fibrous center and seeds from the apple rounds after.

How to Make Apple S’mores 

Apple s’mores are just as easy to assemble as regular s’mores, and you don’t need a campfire. You can toast the marshmallows over a gas stove burner or broil them on a baking sheet in the oven.

Now, let’s make these healthy s’mores happen!

  1. Cut the apples
    Use a sharp kitchen knife to slice the apple into ⅓-inch thick rounds. 
    Place the rounds onto a flat surface and sprinkle half of them with the chocolate caramel pieces. 
  2. Roast
    Toast the marshmallow over an open flame until it reaches your desired level of toasty. *I love mine almost burnt. 
  3. Assemble
    Place the gooey marshmallow over the chopped chocolate pieces and top with another apple slice. Press down until the marshmallow melts into the chocolate, and take a bite! 

This recipe was fun to make, and I even recorded a video to show you how easy it is!

    We love apple slices with peanut or almond butter, but we’ve also made apple nachos for dessert with other toppings like chocolate chips and coconut. It sounds like we really need to try Nature Seal. Thanks for sharing!

        Thank you for the awesome prize pack! We love Nature Seal. It worked perfectly to keep our apples crisp and from getting brown. We made this recipe exactly as shown, and it was perfect. Kid approved s’mores alternative. It’s a nice light dessert after a big meal, not too heavy like traditional s’mores. And we love the apple & caramel flavors. Very good. I highly recommend this recipe. Thanks again for the awesome prize!!

    One of our favorite ways to eat apple slices is to push Nerds candy into them which makes them taste like a candy apple! It’s not a healthy way to eat them, but definitely one of our favs! Haha

    What a fun idea! Thanks for sharing. My kids love apples-just straight up slices, especially in their school lunches, so Natureseal sounds like something that would be very useful. We also like to wrap apple slices in crescent roll dough with some cinnamon and sugar and bake-got that inspiration from you, Laura. Thanks again!

    My daughter’s favorite way to eat apple slices is to put it around her finger and pretend it is a spaceship, while she nibbles on it until it’s gone.

    My favorite ways to eat apple slices are raw, topped with creamy peanut butter, or in a variety of apple pies.

    We put sunflower seed butter (or peanut butter) and chocolate chips on apple slices for an after school snack.
