Ingredients
2 very large Fuji apples
3 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon refined coconut oil
1 cup caramels, melted
½ cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Slice them into ½-inch thick rounds, removing seeds and core.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the apple slices on it.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each apple slice into the melted chocolate, coating both sides, then return to the parchment.
- Drizzle melted caramel over the chocolate-coated apple slices.
- Sprinkle chopped pecans on top while caramel is still soft.
- Allow the slices to set until chocolate and caramel are firm before serving.
Notes
Use Granny Smith apples for a tart variation.
Try white or dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet for a flavor twist.
Sprinkle sea salt or drizzle with extra chocolate for decoration.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving for best texture.
