Core the apples and cut them into thin wedges. Arrange the slices in a single overlapping layer on a large serving platter.

Place the pretzel twists in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin or the bottom of a glass until you have small pieces and crumbs.

Warm the caramel sauce slightly if it is too thick to drizzle. Pour it evenly over the apple slices.

Sprinkle the crushed pretzels across the top, followed by the mini chocolate chips. Serve right away so the pretzels stay crisp.
