Transfer caramel to a pastry bag. Finely chop the apple. Place the bittersweet chocolate in a small bowl and microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring each time, until melted.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and pour the bittersweet chocolate out, saving just a little in the bowl. Use an offset spatula to spread it evenly until it is about ¼" thick.

Drizzle the caramel over the bittersweet chocolate, making sure to leave some spots bare. Add finely chopped apple on top. Transfer the cookie sheet to the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes until it has set. Once set, cut apart the bark into smaller pieces. Enjoy!
