Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and position the oven rack in the center.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt, whisking until smooth.
  4. Generously brush each apple ring with the glaze on both sides.
  5. Place the glazed apple rings on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle shredded coconut over them.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the apples are tender and the coconut is golden.
  7. While baking, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals.
  8. Remove the baked apples from the oven after 25 minutes and let cool for about 5 minutes.
  9. Drizzle warm caramel and melted chocolate over the apple rings and allow to set for 10 minutes before serving.
