Wash the Granny Smith apples thoroughly under running water to remove any wax or dirt.
Using a sharp knife, core and slice the apples into thin, even wedges. Aim for around 1/8 inch in thickness for each slice.
Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on a large plate or serving tray.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder, coconut oil, and sweetener of choice.
Microwave the mixture for 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the coconut oil has melted completely, and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 40-60 seconds in total.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt into the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
Using a spoon, gently drizzle the chocolate mixture over the arranged apple slices.
Let the chocolate set for a few minutes at room temperature or place the tray in the fridge for about 5 minutes for quicker setting.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb apple slices with a chocolate drizzle as a healthy dessert or snack.
