# Components:
→ Apples
01 - 2 large crisp apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp
→ Chocolate Coating
02 - 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
03 - 1 tsp coconut oil, optional for smoother melting
→ Toppings
04 - ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
05 - ½ cup mini marshmallows or marshmallow fluff
→ Optional
06 - 2 tbsp chopped toasted nuts such as pecans or peanuts
07 - Flaky sea salt for garnish
# Directions:
01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Cut each apple into 4 thick slices approximately ½ inch thick, removing seeds and core from each slice. Pat slices dry with paper towels.
03 - Insert a popsicle stick or sturdy skewer into each apple slice if desired for easy dipping.
04 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil if using in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler.
05 - Dip each apple slice halfway into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off back into the bowl.
06 - Immediately sprinkle or press graham cracker crumbs onto the chocolate-coated side of each slice.
07 - Place dipped slices onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.
08 - If using marshmallow fluff, microwave ½ cup for 10 to 15 seconds to soften, then drizzle over the chocolate side of each slice using a spoon or piping bag. If using mini marshmallows, press a few onto the chocolate while still wet.
09 - Add optional nuts or a pinch of flaky sea salt to each slice.
10 - Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set the chocolate before serving.
