Method

  1. Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a double boiler and melt them together.

  2. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or wax paper.

  3. Slice the apple into 1/4-inch-thick slices.

  4. Dip each apple slice into the melted chocolate, ensuring that each slice is evenly coated. The chocolate should cover at least three-quarters of each slice.

  5. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off the apple slices.

  6. Press one side of each slice into either peanuts or coconut.

  7. Place the apple slices, with the non-peanut/coconut-side down, onto the lined baking sheet.

  8. Refrigerate or freeze the apple slices until the chocolate hardens. This typically takes around 10 to 15 minutes.

  9. Serve and enjoy!
