Equipment

  • Parchment Paper
  • Baking Tray

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Honeycrisp Apples
  • 1 Cup Dark Chocolate
  • 1 Cup White Chocolate
  • ¼ Cup Pumpkin Seeds
  • ¼ Cup Shredded Coconut
  • ¼ Cup Dried Cranberries
  • ¼ Cup Raw Walnuts Feel free to swap for any raw nut.
  • 2 Tablespoons Sprinkles I like using naturally Supernatural naturally dyed sprinkles.
  • 2 Teaspoons Coconut Oil Add a teaspoon into the white chocolate and dark chocolate to create a smooth consistency.

Instructions
 

Preparing Apple Slices

  • Start by cutting apples into about ¼ inch thick slices. You can either avoid the apple core or cut it out to create more of an apple donut look!
  • Next, pat apples dry with a paper towel or dish towel and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet or cutting board. This will ensure that the chocolate will stick.
  • You can leave the apple slices as is or use wooden sticks or cake pop sticks to create "apple pops." Just carefully press the stick into the base of each apple slice.

Chocolate & Toppings

  • Then, add the dark chocolate and white chocolate into small bowls with one teaspoon of coconut oil. Microwave in 30 second increments until you reach a smooth texture.
  • Line up all of your apple pop toppings and melted chocolate bowls so you can easily and quickly decorate the chocolate covered apples.
  • Dip apple slices into the melted chocolate with a fork. (Or hold onto the wooden or plastic stick.) Let the excess chocolate drip off and place on parchment paper. Top with desired toppings before the chocolate hardens. Repeat until all apple slices are covered.
  • To finish, drizzle an extra layer of chocolate onto each apple slice. I like to use a white chocolate drizzle for dark chocolate apple slices and vice versa. Store in the refrigerator until you're ready to enjoy!

Notes

Expert Tips

  • Make sure you pat dry the apple slices with a paper towel, so the melted chocolate sticks easily.
  • Add the toppings right after dipping the apple slice because the chocolate will harden quickly. (Especially if you're using chilled apples.)
  • Let the apple slices set in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.
  • To ensure there are no apple leftovers, slice the entire apple and use a knife to cut out the core.
  • Because you're not peeling the apples, I recommend cleaning the apples before cutting into them! For a healthy fruit wash, check out my simple Apple Cider Vinegar Fruit Wash.

How to Store Leftovers

They are best served the day of, but you can store leftover chocolate covered apple slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. Do not store them at room temperature.
