Luscious Chocolate Turtle Apple Slices (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Fresh Fruit
01 -
3 medium-sized Granny Smith apples
→ Chocolate and Caramel
02 -
2½ cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
03 -
11 ounces of caramel bits (about 2 cups)
→ Other Ingredients
04 -
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
05 -
¼ cup of heavy cream
06 -
½ cup of finely chopped pecans
# Instructions:
01 -
Cover a baking tray with parchment or a silicon sheet and put it aside for later.
02 -
Slice the apples into pieces about ½ inch thick, then push popsicle sticks firmly into one end of every apple slice.
03 -
In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the chocolate chips with vegetable oil. Microwave them in 30-second intervals, stirring after each round, until smooth.
04 -
Using the stick as a handle, dip each apple slice into the melted chocolate. Let any extra chocolate drip off, then lay it on the prepped baking tray.
05 -
Pop the chocolate-covered pieces into the fridge or freezer for about 15 minutes until they're solid.
06 -
In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel bits with the heavy cream. Heat in 30-second bursts, making sure to stir until the caramel melts completely.
07 -
Drizzle the warm caramel over the chocolate-dipped apples. Sprinkle some chopped pecans on top before the caramel hardens.
08 -
Put the finished apples back in the fridge or freezer for about 10 minutes so the caramel sets properly before serving.
