Cuisine American
Servings 10

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large apples of choice washed and dried completely
  • 2 cups dark chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1 Tbsp unrefined coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup raw pecans roughly chopped
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries or raisins
  • 10 -12 wooden popsicle sticks

Instructions
 

  • Add your coconut oil to the chocolate chips and place in the in the microwave, on high.
  • Melt in 30 second intervals, stirring after each one, until fully melted and smooth. Transfer to a shallow plate that will allow you to easily dip your apple slices into.
  • Alternatively, you may melt your chocolate over a double broiler on the stove, stirring constantly.
  • Prepare your chopped pecans, cranberries and get 10-12 popsicle sticks, set them out in your workstation.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Using a very sharp chef's knife, carefully slice your apples into 1/2 inch slices as shown. A mandolin would work well for this too! Gently remove any apple seeds from your slices.
  • Next, with a pairing knife make a small slit into the bottom of each apple slice. This will help you insert the popsicle sticks easier.
  • Very carefully, insert a popsicle stick into each piece of apple. Dip apple slices into your melted chocolate to evenly cover both sides, then gently place on your prepared baking sheet.
  • Immediately sprinkle with pecans and cranberries.
  • Refrigerate for 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!
  • Store any leftovers in an air tight container, refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
