Salted Caramel Apple Rice Krispies
These Salted Caramel Apple Rice Krispies are a whimsical, rich and autumn-inspired homage to a favorite childhood treat.
Ingredients
- 8 Tablespoons salted butter (1 stick)
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- large sprinkling of mineral salt
- ¼ teaspoon ceylon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg plus more to garnish
- 1 cup red-skinned apples diced small
- 10 oz bag of mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 5 cups puffed sprouted brown rice cereal
- Flaky salt to garnish
Instructions
- Begin by lining an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a portion of overhang. Grease pan liberally with coconut oil spray.
- In a heavy-bottomed dutch oven, add the butter over medium heat and let it begin bubbling and turning light brown, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in maple and spices, let bubble and simmer another 1-2 minutes. Stir in apples and saute for 2-3 minutes until apples just begin to soften but not turn mushy. Turn heat to low.
- Stir in marshmallows over low heat until they are melted. Take off the heat.
- With a sturdy spatula in hand, slowly add the vanilla and sprouted brown rice cereal, mixing constantly, until all cereal is coated and well combined.
- Transfer rice krispie mixture to the prepared pan, pressing mixture down firmly and smoothing top evenly. Sprinkle liberally with nutmeg all across top then chill at least 30 minutes to firm up. Cut into 12 large squares or 24 mini squares and serve. Enjoy!
