Instructions

Prepare the apples

Insert a wooden stick into the top of each apple. Set aside.

Melt the chocolate

In a heatproof bowl, combine chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil. Melt over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

Pro tip: Ensure the bowl is completely dry to prevent the chocolate from seizing.

Dip the apples

Dip each apple into the melted chocolate, turning to coat evenly. Let excess chocolate drip off.

Pro tip: Tilt the bowl slightly for easier dipping.

Add toppings

While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with your choice of toppings.

Pro tip: Press the toppings gently to ensure they adhere to the chocolate.

Set the apples

Place the apples on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set.

Serve

Once set, serve the chocolate dipped apples at room temperature.

Pro tip: If storing, keep refrigerated and consume within two days.
