Ingredients

For this recipe, you will need:

4-6 apples, depending on size.
1 cup of your favorite chocolate chips.
1 tablespoon of coconut oil (optional).
Toppings of your choice (crushed nuts, shredded coconut, crushed candy, etc).

Instructions

Before you begin, make sure that you have thoroughly washed and dried your apples. This will help ensure that the chocolate sticks to the apples.

1. Begin by melting the chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave. If you’re using the microwave, heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted.

2. If you’re using coconut oil, add it to the melted chocolate and stir until it’s fully incorporated.

3. Dip the apples one at a time into the melted chocolate. Make sure to turn the apples so that the entire surface is evenly covered with chocolate.

4. Place the dipped apples on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the toppings of your choice over the chocolate-covered apples. Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving.

Equipment

For this recipe, you will need the following equipment:

Double boiler or microwave.
Parchment-lined baking sheet.
Small bowl.

Notes

If you don’t have a double boiler, you can use a small bowl placed over a pot of simmering water. Make sure that the bowl does not touch the water.

If you’d like to add a bit of crunch to your apples, you can add some chopped nuts or crushed candy to the chocolate before dipping the apples.
