Ingredients
4 Honeycrisp apples
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 cup white chocolate chips
¼ cup pumpkin seeds
¼ cup shredded coconut
¼ cup dried cranberries
¼ cup raw walnuts
2 tablespoons sprinkles
2 teaspoons coconut oil
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry the apples. Cut them into ¼-inch thick slices, removing the core.
- Carefully insert wooden sticks into the base of each apple slice.
- In separate microwave-safe bowls, melt the dark and white chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Dip each apple slice into the melted dark chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off. Place the dipped slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the apple slices with your choice of toppings, such as pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, dried cranberries, raw walnuts, and sprinkles.
- Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the topped apple slices for added decoration and flavor.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.
Notes
- Nut-Free Option: Omit the nuts and use additional dried fruits or seeds.
- Vegan Version: Use dairy-free chocolate chips and ensure all toppings are plant-based.
- Holiday-Themed: Customize with colored sprinkles or themed toppings for special occasions.
- Caramel Addition: Before dipping in chocolate, spread a thin layer of caramel on the apple slices for an extra sweet touch.
- Store the chocolate-covered apple pops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- These pops are best enjoyed cold. If the chocolate softens, place them back in the refrigerator to set.
