Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium-sized apples (preferably Granny Smith or Fuji)
- 1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Wash and dry apples, then slice them into 1/4 inch thick rounds, removing the seeds.
- Spread the shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave or a double boiler until smooth.
- Dip each apple slice halfway into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off, and place on a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
