Main Recipe for Chocolate Covered Apple Slices

2 apples
2 cups chocolate chips melted in a double boiler
cookie butter I like Bishcoff's Cookie Butter

Toppings

shredded coconut
Thin Kit Kat Cookies chopped
pretzels chopped

Instructions

Prep Toppings

Before diving into this recipe, I prepared all my toppings in advance.

Prep Apples

Slice apple at least a 1/2 inch in thickness. Take out any seeds that might be in the apple slices.
To create the perfect spot for your lollipop stick, gently poke a small hole in the bottom of your apple slice. Just ensure that the metal skewer you use for poking is smaller than the lollipop sticks, and carefully insert it straight up into the slice.
Carefully insert the lollipop stick into the pre-made hole, ensuring not to poke out the sides of the apple slice.
Blot-dry the apple slices with paper towels. Then lightly spread a thin coating of cookie butter on both sides of the apple slice.

Melt Chocolate

While it may be tempting to melt your chocolate in the microwave, I recommend avoiding it. Instead, opt for a double boiler method by filling the bottom pan with about two inches of water and heating it until it reaches a gentle boil. This ensures a safer and more controlled melting process for your chocolate.
Place a second pot on the boiling water pan and add chocolate chips. Once the chocolate starts melting, reduce the heat to the lowest setting and stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted.

Coat Apples in Chocolate

Dip your apple slice into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to ensure it is fully covered. Once coated, transfer the slices to a baking tray lined with parchment paper for them to set.
For faster chocolate hardening, refrigerate the chocolate-covered apple slices.
