Instructions

Melt the Chocolate: Bring a saucepan of water to a simmer, then set a heatproof glass bowl over the saucepan without letting the bowl touch the water. Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the bowl and stir continuously until melted and smooth. Stir in the coconut oil to incorporate fully.
Prepare the Apples: Place the apples upright on a cutting board and slice them into 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick slices. Using a paring knife, make a small horizontal incision at the bottom of each apple slice. Insert a popsicle stick securely into each slice through this cut to form apple pops.
Set up the Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with wax paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Dip the Apple Slices: Dip each apple slice fully into the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coating. Place the chocolate-coated apple pops on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate the sheet for 8 to 10 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set and firm.
Add Toppings and Drizzles: Drizzle the set chocolate apple slices with caramel sauce and melted white chocolate for extra flavor and visual appeal. While still slightly tacky, sprinkle your choice of crushed Oreos, crushed pretzels, rainbow sprinkles, or M&M’s on top. Return the apple pops to the refrigerator for another 5 minutes to allow the caramel and white chocolate to set.
Serve and Store: Serve the sliced caramel apple pops immediately for best texture and freshness. Alternatively, store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve, ideally within a day to maintain crispness and flavor.

Notes

Use firm and fresh apples for best results to prevent sogginess.
You can customize toppings to your preference or omit them for a simpler treat.
Ensure the chocolate is fully melted and smooth before dipping for even coverage.
For easier insertion of sticks, slightly soften apples at the cut point or use plastic sticks designed for pops.
Store apple pops in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh for up to 2 days.
