You’ve all heard of the popular Canadian poutine, right? Basically it’s fries topped with gravy and cheese curds. It’s delicious! Today I’m sharing a sweet version of this popular dish – Caramel Apple Poutine. Swap the fries for apple slices and the gravy for homemade caramel sauce. Super sweet & totally tasty!
Caramel Apple Poutine Recipe:
For some added texture, I added a super simple pie topping to the apple fries but you could leave it out and still have a yummy dessert.
