Ingredients
To make this delicious treat, you will need the following ingredients: 4 large apples, 1 1/2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of butter, 1/4 cup of corn syrup, 1/4 cup of water, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. You will also need 8 wooden sticks or skewers, parchment paper, and a microwave-safe bowl.
Instructions
To get started, you will need to wash and dry the apples and remove any stems. Then, insert the wooden sticks into the stem end of each apple. Next, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips, butter, corn syrup, water, and vanilla extract. Heat the mixture in the microwave for one minute and stir until the chocolate is completely melted. If needed, you can heat the mixture in 15-second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted.
Once the chocolate is melted, dip each apple into the mixture and rotate to evenly coat. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before transferring the apple to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat for the remaining apples and allow the chocolate to cool and harden completely.
When the chocolate is completely hardened, your candy apples are ready to enjoy. The apples can be served as is or topped with your favorite toppings, such as sprinkles, nuts, or shredded coconut.
