Chocolate Covered Apple Slices Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together over a double boiler. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
• Slice the apple into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Dip the apple slices one at a time into the chocolate, making sure to coat them evenly. The chocolate should go at least three-quarters of the way up each apple slice. Let the excess chocolate drip off.
• Press one side of each slice into the peanuts or coconut, and place the slices non-peanut/coconut-side down on the parchment. Place in the fridge or freezer until the chocolate hardens, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve.

Steps:

• Wash apples, then dry completely. (Note: In order for the chocolate to stick to the apples, the apples need to be well chilled before washing, drying and dipping in the melted chocolate.)
• Cover plate with parchment; spray with cooking spray. Insert wooden pop stick into stem end of each apple.
• Melt chocolate in small microwaveable bowl following microwaving directions on package. Stir in oil. Dip bottom half of each apple in chocolate mixture, turning until evenly coated. Sprinkle nuts over chocolate. Place on prepared plate.
• Refrigerate 20 min. or until chocolate is firm. (The dipped apples can be refrigerated up to 2 days before serving.) Cut each apple in half to serve.

Steps:

• Twist off the stems from the apples and push a Popsicle stick down into the core. Put the apples in the fridge while preparing the chocolate; they'll coat better if they're cold.
• Slowly melt the chocolate in a double boiler over hot water or in a microwave set on high for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through the heating time to smooth it out. Remove from the heat and stir until completely melted and warm, not hot. Dunk each apple into the chocolate, allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl. Roll the apples around in the chocolate, turning with the stick, so it's coated all the way up to the top. Use a spoon to baste any hard to get spots.
• Put the desired coating in a separate bowl and roll the dipped apple around so it is completely covered. Set the chocolate dipped apples on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set.
