Ingredients

Scale

Apple Slices

5 medium Granny Smith apples, room temperature
1 lemon, juiced
Wooden sticks or skewers

Caramel Coating

11 ounces caramel candies
1/4 cup heavy cream

Chocolate Drizzles

2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup milk chocolate chips
2 teaspoons vegetable oil (divided)
2 squares white almond bark

Toppings

1/2 cup pecans, chopped
Colored sprinkles, as desired

Instructions

Prepare the apple slices: Slice the apples away from the core into 1-inch thick slices. Insert wooden sticks or skewers through the skin side of each slice for easy handling.
Toss with lemon juice: Place the apple slices in a bowl and toss them with freshly squeezed lemon juice to prevent browning. Pat them dry with paper towels and let them sit while you prepare the caramel.
Make the caramel coating: Combine the caramel candies and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring well between each, until the caramel is completely melted and smooth. This process may take several minutes.
Coat the apple slices: Drizzle or dip the caramel over the apple slices arranged on a sheet tray with the skin side up. Ensure each slice is generously coated. Repeat until all slices are covered. Allow the caramel to set; you may need to trim excess caramel from the edges when handling.
Melt the chocolates: In separate microwave-safe bowls, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil, and the milk chocolate chips with another teaspoon of oil. Stir every 15 seconds until smooth. Similarly, melt the white almond bark squares, stirring every 15 seconds until fully melted.
Decorate the apples: Drizzle the melted chocolates over the caramel-coated apple slices in any pattern you prefer. Add a dusting of colorful sprinkles and chopped pecans for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

Use lemon juice to prevent the apple slices from browning before coating.
Microwave caramel in short increments and stir thoroughly to avoid burning.
Let the caramel set completely before adding the chocolate drizzle to prevent mixing.
Trim excess caramel from edges for easier eating.
Feel free to customize toppings with nuts, sprinkles, or other candies.
