Delicious Apple Pie Rice Krispie Treats combine the classic marshmallow cereal treat with warm apple pie spices and a drizzle of caramel sauce for a comforting, sweet snack perfect for fall and year-round enjoyment.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 10 oz bag mini marshmallows
  • 5 cups rice cereal
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce (try my easy tahini vegan salted caramel)

Instructions

  1. Reserve Marshmallows: Reserve 1/2 heaping cup of mini marshmallows and set aside for later use in the recipe.
  2. Melt Marshmallows Mixture: In a large pot, combine the remaining marshmallows, milk, and butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning, until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
  3. Add Spices and Vanilla: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the apple pie spice and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors.
  4. Mix in Cereal and Reserved Marshmallows: Pour the rice cereal into the melted marshmallow mixture and stir until well coated. Then add the reserved marshmallows and stir gently until they are evenly mixed in.
  5. Shape the Treats: Transfer the mixture into an 8×8 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper. Using your fingers or parchment paper, lightly press the mixture evenly into the pan to form a compact layer.
  6. Set at Room Temperature: Allow the treats to cool and set completely at room temperature, which usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour.
  7. Drizzle with Caramel: Once set, generously drizzle the top with caramel sauce for an extra layer of sweetness and flavor.

Notes

  • For easy removal, line the baking pan with parchment paper before pressing in the mixture.
  • You can substitute the caramel sauce with store-bought caramel or make your own vegan salted caramel for a dairy-free option.
  • Press the mixture lightly to keep the treats soft and chewy rather than hard and compact.
  • Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best freshness.
