Yield: 12 Servings
Ingredients: 2 very large Fuji apples 3 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used Nestle) 1 tablespoon coconut oil (I used refined coconut oil so it doesn't taste like coconut.) 1 cup caramels, melted (I used Kraft caramels) Chopped pecans Check below.
Instructions:
Step number one. Slice apples into 1/2" pieces. (It's really important to have a good quality chef's knife. I love Wusthof.) With a knife make a little slit in the bottom of each apple slice to make it easier to insert a popsicle stick. Insert a popsicle stick into each piece of apple. Set aside.
After that, In a medium bowl, melt chocolate chips in the microwave on high for about 2 minutes (in 30 second intervals, don't overheat because the chocolate will burn).* Stir in coconut oil until smooth. Dip apple slices in chocolate and place on parchment lined cookie sheet. (I used a 13"x18" half sheet pan.)
After that, Place caramels in microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 45-60 seconds.* Do NOT overheat. Stir until smooth. Drizzle melted caramel over chocolate and sprinkle with nuts.
