Cut the apples into thin wedges, toss with the measured lemon, then blot excess before arranging. A broad overlapping layer leaves more surfaces available for a drizzle than a deep heap. Put the peanuts and edible eyes beside the plate before melting chocolate so you can finish while the coating is workable.
Warm thick caramel separately and gently if needed, following its product directions. Drizzle rather than pouring a pool over the center, then add the measured toppings. Serve immediately for the crisp apple texture described. Keep the peanut ingredient explicit for guests, and do not assume an un-topped corner of a shared plate is separate from contact with the rest of the dish.
Timing and servings are estimates. Equipment, ingredients and portion sizes affect the result.
