Description

These Chocolate Turtle Apple Slices are a delightful and easy-to-make treat combining crisp apple slices with rich caramel, melted milk chocolate, and crunchy nuts. Finished with a hint of sea salt for a perfect sweet and salty balance, this no-bake snack is ideal for a quick dessert or an impressive party appetizer.

Ingredients

Apples

  • 2 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, cored and sliced into rings)

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (toasted, if preferred)
  • 1 tbsp sea salt (optional, for a salty-sweet flavor)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for extra flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Slice the apples into 1/2-inch thick rings and carefully remove the core. Alternatively, you can cut them into wedges based on your preference.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: Place the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stovetop. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
  3. Assemble the Turtle Apple Slices: Arrange the apple slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle each slice generously with caramel sauce, then spoon the melted chocolate over the caramel layer.
  4. Add the Nuts: Sprinkle the chopped pecans or walnuts evenly over the chocolate and caramel, pressing lightly so the nuts adhere well to the toppings.
  5. Add the Finishing Touches: If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over each slice to create a delicious salty-sweet contrast. Let the chocolate set at room temperature for a few minutes or refrigerate to speed up the process.
  6. Serve & Enjoy: Once the chocolate has slightly hardened, serve immediately or store the slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture.
  • To toast nuts, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  • If you prefer a different chocolate type, dark or white chocolate chips can be substituted.
  • Refrigerate to speed up chocolate setting, but serve at room temperature for best flavor.
  • These slices are best enjoyed within 2-3 days when stored properly.
