Ingredients
Scale
2 large crisp apples (like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
Prepare the apples: Wash and core the apples. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds or wedges. Arrange the apple slices on a serving platter.
Toast the coconut: Heat a small, dry skillet over medium heat. Add the shredded coconut and stir constantly for 3 to 5 minutes until the coconut turns golden brown and smells fragrant. Remove immediately from the heat and set aside.
Melt the chocolate: Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is smooth.
Assemble the dessert: Drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the apple slices.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel layer.
Sprinkle the toasted coconut evenly over the chocolate and caramel.
Serve the caramel apple slices immediately for the best texture.
Notes
For a firmer base, you can chill the apple slices in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before topping them.
If you want a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
Use a good quality caramel sauce for the best flavor in this easy apple dessert recipe.
