  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 8 apple slices

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large crisp apples (Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp)
  • 1 cup caramel bits or caramel candies
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smooth melting)
  • Extra toppings: crushed nuts, sprinkles, sea salt (optional)
  • To serve: wooden skewers or lollipop sticks

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the apples thoroughly, remove stems, and insert wooden skewers or lollipop sticks into each apple.
  2. Combine caramel bits with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth, stirring after each.
  3. Dip each apple into the caramel, ensuring full coating, then place on parchment paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Melt the chocolate with coconut oil in 20-30 second bursts until smooth.
  5. Dip each caramel-coated apple into the melted chocolate or drizzle generously, then add optional toppings before it hardens.
  6. Refrigerate the dipped apples for at least 1 hour until the chocolate is firm.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; separate layers with parchment paper.
  • Freeze for up to 1 month, well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle sea salt or spices on the chocolate coating.
