Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 Granny Smith apples (or Honeycrisp/Fuji)
- 25–30 soft caramel candies
- 1 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ tsp coconut oil
- ½ cup chopped pecans (toasted preferred)
- Optional: Sea salt flakes, mini marshmallows, crushed pretzels, cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- Slice apples into ½-inch thick rounds and remove cores.
- Pat slices completely dry with paper towels and let them air dry for 10 minutes.
- Unwrap caramels and melt with heavy cream in 30-second microwave bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Dip or drizzle apple slices with caramel and place on parchment paper to cool slightly.
- Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Drizzle chocolate over the caramel apples using a spoon or piping bag.
- Immediately sprinkle chopped pecans and any optional toppings over wet chocolate.
- Chill in the fridge for 10–15 minutes until set, then serve slightly warmed for best texture.
Notes
Drying the apple slices thoroughly is crucial—moisture will make the caramel and chocolate slide right off. Toasting the pecans adds amazing flavor. Serve within 24 hours and store in an airtight container layered with parchment paper to avoid sticking.
