Ingredients
- Fresh apples (7-10 in varied colors, such as Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, and Fuji)
- BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
- Sharp pretzel sticks or skewers
- Fresh herbs (like mint or thyme)
- Optional add-ons: mini marshmallows, candy canes, or nuts
Instructions
- Prep Your Apples: Wash apples thoroughly, remove seeds, and cut into quarters or thin wedges.
- Assemble the Base: Use a large plate, placing a small bowl in the center to act as the trunk filled with BBQ sauce.
- Build the Tree: Arrange apple slices on pretzel sticks, inserting them into the bowl base to create a tree structure.
- Add the Finishing Touches: Drizzle BBQ sauce and garnish with fresh herbs.
- Serve and Enjoy: Set in the center of the table and offer more BBQ sauce on the side.
Notes
To prevent browning, toss apple slices with lemon juice while cutting. For extra flavor, lightly caramelize apple slices before assembling.
