Instructions
1. Prep the Apples
- Wash and thoroughly dry apples.
- Slice into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
2. Insert Sticks
- Carefully insert popsicle sticks into one side of each slice.
- Handle gently to prevent splitting.
3. Melt Chocolate
- Combine chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
4. Dip & Coat
- Dip each apple slice into melted chocolate.
- Use a spoon to fully coat.

5. Add Toppings

Notes
- Dry apples well: Moisture prevents chocolate from sticking.
- Work quickly: Add toppings before chocolate sets.
- Use firm apples: Helps slices hold their shape.
- Optional coconut oil: Creates smoother, shinier chocolate.
