Caramel Apple Brie Cheese Bites
Think caramel apple but elevated into a creamy, sweet & salty bite sized appetizer perfect for any fall get together. The brie cheese adds the perfect creamy bite in here, making it perfect to pair with a glass of bubbly!
If you love caramel then listen up because a pairing you might not know of is how well brie cheese and caramel pair together this time of year! You can find me eating brie and a caramel square everyday leading up to Halloween! So I thought why not make this delicious cheese and candy pairing into a bite sized appetizer perfect for fall get togethers, Halloween parties or Thanksgiving. Serve as an appetizer or for dessert- but one thing I will tell you is that people will be SHOCKED by the flavor bomb that goes off in their mouth when they eat this. It is sweet, creamy, salty and crisp with that bite of juicy green apple 🍏
Ingredients for brie caramel apple bites
This appetizer requires minimal ingredients and you can make them in less than 10 minutes!
Here’s a list of ingredients that I used to make mine:
Pretzel
Caramel square
Brie cheese
Green apple
That is it! that’s all you need for these, they are really THAT easy to make.
I suggest using a Granny Smith green apple for this recipe because it adds a nice crisp and juicy bite that balances out the sweetness of the caramel square, whereas if you were to use a red apple it will add more sweetness to the bite. Nothing wrong with that, just depends on if you want it sweeter or not. Pick your poison 🍏🍎
I used skewers for this appetizer that elevate them a bit, but you can use any skewers you’d like! Even toothpicks would work.

Quality of brie cheese matters! I always recommend using a brie cheese that is French- brie cheese originated in France so if it is French you know it’s creamy, has notes of mushroom and will melt really well! When melted, the cheaper brie cheeses can often pool with oil which means they aren’t the best quality and stuffed with fillers & additives. When making baked brie, spend a little bit more on the cheese to make sure it’s a quality one.
Some of my personal favorite brie cheese brands are: Ile De France, President Cheese and Alouette Cheese
You only need to put the pretzel & caramel square in the oven for a few minutes until it warms up slightly. You don’t want the caramel square to fully melt, you just want it to get warm enough to stick to the brie and apple skewer.
