Chocolate Turtle Apple Slices
Wednesday, 28 March 2018
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.
