I love cooking with kids! This is a perfect sweet dessert or snack recipe to include them in the fun of cooking. I made these TikTok apple slices (they went viral) recently with my cousin. She loved creating these beautiful dipped apples and then drizzling them with caramel sauce. Everyone gets to enjoy a sweet treat when you’re done!

To make this fall-inspired gluten-free apple recipe you will need crisp, fresh apples, soft caramel candies, chocolate chips, coconut oil and optional chopped nuts. These low-sodium apples are easy to prep and prepare! Plus check out the health benefits of apples.

Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 9

Ingredients

• 3 crisp apples like Honeycrisp, Fuji or Granny Smith, washed
• 4 ounces soft caramels
• 12 ounces (1 bag) chocolate chips (semisweet, milk or white chocolate)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1/3 cup chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds, etc.), optional

Here's how to make it: 

1. Slice the ends off of the apples and then slice into 1/3-inch thick slices. Using a hard lid (we used an olive oil top) press out the core and seeds of each slice. (Don't waste the ends of the apples you slice off – eat them! Use whatever apples you enjoy eating for this recipe.)
2. Place your chocolate chips and coconut oil in a saucepan and melt on medium-low until creamy, gently stirring with a spatula every now and then.
3. When the chocolate is melted, remove it from heat and dip the apple slices into the chocolate. Place the apples on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Continue until all the slices are coated in chocolate.
4. Place the caramels in a small saucepot on medium-low heat. Use a spatula to stir and melt them completely. Using a spatula, drizzle the caramel over the apple slices.
5. If you would like nuts, sprinkle them on the apple slices. Place the apple slices into the freezer for 10 minutes. Remove and let the whole family enjoy! Store the snacks in an airtight container.
