Equipment

10 popsicle sticks

Ingredients

3 Granny Smith apples
10 oz milk chocolate (or dark chocolate) for baking or use chocolate chips
½ cup pecans chopped
1 teaspoon milk
5 oz caramel candies about half a 10 oz bag
flaky sea salt optional

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice apples horizontally into ¼–½ inch thick rounds.
You should get about 8-10 slices total.
Remove any seeds from the centers. Use a knife to make a small slit in the bottom of each slice and insert a popsicle stick.
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Dip each apple slice into the chocolate, coating both sides. Shake off excess and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Work quickly before the chocolate hardens. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
Let sit at room temperature until chocolate fully sets.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the caramel squares and milk. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and melted.
Drizzle the caramel over the chocolate-dipped apples.
Optional: Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Let cool until set. Enjoy!

Notes

For best texture, enjoy the same day.

Swap out pecans for chopped walnuts or chopped almonds.
