Slice apples into \u00bd\u201d pieces. (It\u2019s really important to have a good quality chef\u2019s knife. I love Wusthof.) With a knife make a little slit in the bottom of each apple slice to make it easier to insert a popsicle stick. Insert a popsicle stick into each piece of apple. Set aside.<\/u><br \/>\n<u>2 . In a medium bowl, melt chocolate chips in the microwave on high for about 2 minutes (in 30 second intervals, don\u2019t overheat because the chocolate will burn).* Stir in coconut oil until smooth. (If the apples are extra juicy, pat down with a paper towel before dipping.) Dip apple slices in chocolate and place on parchment lined cookie sheet. (I used a 13\u2033x18\u2033 half sheet pan.)<\/u><br \/>\n<u>3 . Place caramels in microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 30-60 seconds.* (Note: Microwave power varies.) Do NOT overheat. I recommend heating at 20 second intervals. For best results, use package instructions for heating the caramels. Stir until smooth. Drizzle melted caramel over chocolate and sprinkle with nuts.<\/u><br \/>\n<u>4 . Refrigerate for about 1 hour. Serve and enjoy immediately. Apples are best the first day. Store in refrigerator.<\/u><br \/>\n<u>5 . *For best results, follow the chocolate chip package instructions for melting chocolate and same for caramel. Follow the caramel package instructions for melting caramels.<\/u><br \/>\n<u>6 . Note: If you\u2019re concerned about biting into an apple seed, just remove them before dipping the apple slice in chocolate.<\/u><br \/>\n<u>NUTRITION<\/u><br \/>\n<u>Serving: 1g | Calories: 437kcal | Carbohydrates: 48g | Protein: 5g | Fat: 26g | Saturated Fat: 13g | Cholesterol: 5mg | Sodium: 54mg | Potassium: 391mg | Fiber: 5g | Sugar: 36g | Vitamin A: 51IU | Vitamin C: 1mg | Calcium: 65mg | Iron: 3mg<\/u><\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INGREDIENTS 2 very large Fuji apples 3 \u00bd cups semi-sweet chocolate chips I used Nestle 1 tablespoon coconut oil I used refined coconut oil so it doesn\u2019t taste like coconut. 1 cup caramels, melted I used [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3007,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3006","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/allhometips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Chocolate-Turtle-Apple-Slices.png?fit=598%2C500&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/allhometips.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3006","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/allhometips.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/allhometips.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/allhometips.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/allhometips.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3006"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/allhometips.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3006\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3008,"href":"https:\/\/allhometips.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3006\/revisions\/3008"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/allhometips.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3007"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/allhometips.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3006"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/allhometips.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3006"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/allhometips.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3006"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
