Chocolate Turtle Apple Slices
Chocolate Turtle Apple Slices are thick slices of Fuji apples covered in melted chocolate, drizzled with caramel and topped with nuts. Have you ever had a candy apple but wished there was a little more “candy” in each bite? Problem solved! These candy apples are covered with all of the ingredients in my favorite candy – chocolate turtles.I chose Fuji apples because they are extra fat and very large.
Chocolate Turtle Apple Slices
Yield: 10-12 slices
Serving Size: 1 slice
Ingredients
2 very large Fuji apples
3 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used Nestle)
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 cup caramels, melted (I used Kraft caramels)
Chopped pecans
Popsicle sticks
Instructions
Slice apples into 1/2" pieces. With a knife make a little slit in the bottom of each apple slice to make it easier to insert a popsicle stick.
Melt chips in the microwave on high for about 2 minutes.* Stir in coconut oil until smooth. Dip apple slices in chocolate and place on parchment lined cookie sheet.
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.
Refrigerate for about 1 hour. Serve and enjoy immediately. Apples are best the first day. Store in refrigerator.
*For best results, follow the chocolate chip package instructions for melting chocolate and same for caramel. Follow the caramel package instructions for melting caramels.
Note: If you're concerned about biting into an apple seed, just remove them before dipping the apple slice in chocolate.
