Caramel Apple Slices (Printer-Friendly Version)

Crisp apples with caramel and chocolate create a simple, tasty snack perfect for any occasion.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruits

01 - 4 medium tart apples (e.g., Granny Smith)

→ Caramel

02 - 16 ounces caramel bits (approximately 1 ½ bags)
03 - 2 tablespoons water

→ Chocolate Drizzle

04 - 2/3 cup chocolate chips (milk or white chocolate)
05 - 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Wash the apples thoroughly, pat dry, and slice into 1-inch pieces, discarding the core.
02 - Cover two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
03 - Combine caramel bits and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted.
04 - Place apple slices evenly on the prepared baking sheets. Spoon melted caramel over each slice and allow to set.
05 - In a separate microwave-safe bowl, mix chocolate chips with vegetable oil. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring between intervals until smooth and melted.
06 - Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel-coated apple slices. Let stand until fully set before serving.

# Additional Tips:

01 - To prevent apple slices from browning, soak them in lemon or lime juice prior to coating.
02 - Remove the wax coating on apples by washing with hot water and a few drops of lemon juice or baking soda to improve caramel adherence.
03 - Ensure apples are completely dry before adding caramel to enhance stickiness.
