Ingredients
Scale
Apples
- 4 medium apples (preferably Granny Smith or any other tart apple)
Caramel
- 16 ounces caramel bits (1 ½ bags)
- 2 tablespoons water
Chocolate Drizzle
- 2/3 cup chocolate chips (milk chocolate or white chocolate)
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Sheets and Apples: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside to keep the apple slices from sticking. Wash the apples thoroughly under water, pat dry with a towel, then slice them into 1-inch thick pieces by cutting around the core carefully.
- Melt the Caramel: Place the caramel bits and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval, until the caramel melts into a smooth, creamy consistency free of lumps.
- Coat the Apple Slices with Caramel: Arrange the apple slices evenly on the prepared baking sheets. Use a spoon to generously spread the melted caramel over each apple slice, ensuring full coverage. Allow the caramel to set slightly at room temperature for a firmer texture.
- Melt the Chocolate: Combine the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in another microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth, creating a thin, easily drizzled texture.
- Drizzle Chocolate and Set: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel-coated apple slices using a spoon or fork to create decorative patterns. Let the caramel and chocolate set completely at room temperature until firm enough to handle. Remove the apple slices carefully from the parchment paper, trimming any excess caramel if necessary, and serve immediately or chill briefly for a cooler treat.
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith to balance the sweetness of the caramel and chocolate.
- If you prefer darker chocolate, semisweet or dark chocolate chips can be substituted.
- Make sure to stir the caramel and chocolate thoroughly to avoid burning during microwaving.
- Store leftover slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
- For an extra festive touch, sprinkle chopped nuts or sea salt on the caramel before it sets.
