Ingredients
- 6 large apples (I like to use granny smith)
- 6 bamboo skewers
- 2 cups chocolate melting wafers (milk, dark, or white chocolate) or about 12 ounces high-quality chocolate bars
- Toppings of choice, like mini M&Ms, crushed candy canes, sprinkles, chopped nuts, etc.
Instructions
- Wash room temperature apples and dry them thoroughly. Remove stems and insert wooden skewers into the top of each apple where the stem was. Press it all the way down.
- Melt chocolate wafers. You can either do so in a double boiler (a heat-proof bowl or pot set over a pot of gently simmering water) or in the microwave. If using the microwave, I recommend using 50% heat for 1 minute and then stirring before placing back in the microwave and using 50% heat for 30 seconds. Take out and stir. Continue until chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Dip each apple in the melted chocolate and swirl it around to coat it evenly. You can use a spoon or rubber spatula to help.
- Working quickly, while the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle your toppings over your apples or roll the apple in them.
- Place the chocolate covered apples on a piece of wax paper or parchment paper and let rest until the chocolate sets, about 90 minutes.
- To store, I recommend keeping in the fridge for 3-4 days. They should be OK at room temperature in a cool, dry spot for 24 hours.
Notes
- If the chocolate seems too thick when you melt it, mix in a little coconut oil.
