Core the apples and slice the meat off with the skin on, discarding the core.

Slice the apples into preferred sizes, about half an inch thick, and place them in a large bowl.

Add about 1 cup of water to the bowl to cover the apples completely.

Mix in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to prevent browning and let the apples soak for a few minutes.

Chop dark chocolate, M&M's, Twisted pretzels, and Reese's Cups into small pieces.

Dry the apples with paper towels, pressing to remove excess moisture.

Line a sheet pan with the dried apple slices in a single layer.

In a microwave-safe dish, combine caramels and 1/4 cup of half and half.

Microwave the caramel mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and creamy.

Drizzle the melted caramel over the prepared apple slices.

Add toppings such as dark chocolate and roasted pecans, pressing them down lightly.

Let the apples sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes to allow the caramel to set, or refrigerate for 10 minutes to speed up the process.
