Chocolate Dipped Apples
Ingredients
Total Time:
4 hours 30 minutes
Serves:
4-8
Four apples, sliced about ¼" thick (Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, Fuji, etc)
12 oz dark chocolate, melted
1 tbsp coconut oil
Topping ideas: chopped nuts, seeds, sprinkles, coconut, dried fruit, and crushed candy canes
Instructions
Wash apples and dry them thoroughly. Slice into thin-ish (¼") slices and remove any seeds/stem. Insert popsicle sticks through the bottom. If the slices are too thin, the slice may break in half, so do one or two test trials before slicing all of your apples.
Add chopped chocolate to a heat-safe bowl—microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between intervals until completely melted. Add one tablespoon of coconut oil, making it easier to dip.
Dip the apple slice in chocolate, then transfer to a parchment paper-lined tray.
Add toppings such as chopped nuts, seeds, sprinkles, coconut, dried fruit, and crushed candy canes. Refrigerate until chocolate has hardened, about 4 hours.
