Caramel apple slices are fun for kids to make and look great served on your holiday table. Green apples are sliced then dipped in melted chocolate, topped with caramel sauce, melted white chocolate, and crushed cookies. Gluten-free.
Wash and dry the apples. Run the apples under hot water using your hands to wash and remove any waxy residue. Use paper toweling to dry.
3 large green apples
⭐️ Slice the apples. Slice the apples from the outside in towards the core, stopping at the core. Repeat on the other side.
⭐️Melt the chocolate. Place the chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil into a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 60 seconds then stir. If the chocolate is not melted heat in 15-second increments stirring each time until melted.
⭐️ Dip the apples. Place an apple slice into the melted chocolate and use a meat fork to remove it, letting the extra chocolate drip off. Place on a parchment paper lined baking pan. Repeat until all the apple slices are coated. Place into the freezer for 10 minutes.
⭐️ Prep the caramel sauce and white chocolate sauce. Add the milk to the caramel sauce and microwave for 15 seconds. Stir well. Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to the white chocolate chips. Heat for 30 seconds then stir. If not melted continue to heat in 15-second increments until melted. Add additional milk to the caramel to thin it further if needed. Add extra coconut oil to the white chocolate to thin if needed.
1/2 cup white chocolate chips, 1 cup caramel sauce, 1 tablespoon milk, 2.5 tablespoons coconut oil, divided
