Ingredients

  • 1 large apple
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Half of a 14 oz package caramel candies, unwrapped
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate bits
  • 1 tsp shortening
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate candy melts

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 250 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. Using a mandoline, food processor or very sharp knife, cut the apple into very thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick.

  3. Arrange the apple slices on the prepared baking sheet, being careful not to overlap. Sprinkle the apples with cinnamon, than bake for 45 mins, or until dried and slightly crisp. Slide the parchment paper and apples off the baking sheet and onto a cooling rack. Let cool completely.

  4. Once the apples have cooled, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the caramels and water. Heat, stirring constantly until melted and smooth. Dunk a fork into the caramel, then use it to drizzle the caramel over the apple chips. Set aside to let the caramel set.

  5. When the caramel has set, place the white chocolate bits and shortening in a medium microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high in 15 second bursts, stirring between, until melted and smooth. Using a clean fork, repeat the drizzling similar to the caramel. Set aside to let the white chocolate set.

  6. Once the white chocolate has set, melt the dark chocolate candy melts in a clean bowl using the same method as the white chocolate.

  7. Once melted, dunk a clean fork in the melted chocolate and drizzle over the apple chips. Let cool until the chocolate is set. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
