Chocolate covered apple slices

0 Start by washing and thoroughly drying your apples.Slice them into approximately ¼-inch thick rounds and carefully remove any seeds or stems.
1 Gently insert a kabob stick into the bottom of each slice. This makes dipping and eating much easier.Squeeze a little lemon juice onto both sides of each apple slice. Let them sit for about a minute, then gently pat dry with a paper towel. This helps keep the apples fresh and prevents browning.
2 Next, add the chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl.Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each round, until smooth and melted. If you'd like a thinner chocolate coating, stir in the coconut oil.
3 Using a spoon, coat each apple slice with melted chocolate, spreading it evenly across the surface.Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before transferring the slices to a parchment-lined tray.
4 Place the tray in the refrigerator until the chocolate is completely set.Once chilled, drizzle generously with date caramel sauce and sprinkle with crushed pecans.
5 Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
