Ingredients
Apples
- 2 very large Fuji apples
Chocolate Coating
- 3 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (Nestle recommended)
- 1 tablespoon refined coconut oil
Toppings
- 1 cup Kraft caramels, melted
- ½ cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Prepare Apples: Wash and dry the Fuji apples thoroughly. Slice them horizontally into approximately ¼ to ½ inch thick rounds, removing any seeds or core pieces to create circular apple slices.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and refined coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring thoroughly after each session until smooth and fully melted.
- Melt Caramel: Place the Kraft caramels in a separate microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-30 second increments, stirring frequently until the caramel is melted and pourable.
- Dip Apple Slices: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each apple slice into the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring full coverage on one side. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Add Toppings: Place the chocolate-dipped apple slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle or dollop the melted caramel over the chocolate side, then sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly on top.
- Set and Serve: Let the apple slices rest at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes, allowing the chocolate and caramel to harden slightly. Serve immediately or keep chilled in an airtight container for up to two days.
Notes
- Use refined coconut oil to avoid coconut flavor transfer.
- Fuji apples are ideal for their sweetness and firm texture that hold up well to dipping.
- For easier dipping, cut apples into wedges instead of rounds.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- You can substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds based on preference.
