Chocolate Covered Apple Slices

You’ll love these easy and yummy chocolate covered apple slices if you like chocolate apple combination. Semi-sweet chocolate covered apples with a white chocolate drizzle taste so delicious. It is very easy to turn this simple recipe into a Halloween treat!

Today I am sharing chocolate-dipped apple slices.  You can simply dip apple slice into chocolate and drizzle white chocolate on top.

Or you can use the drizzles to make Halloween treats with apples just like I do now in this post.

You can make these chocolate covered apple slices with your kids easily. They can dip the apples into chocolate and decorate as they like.  

I make a mummy design but you can be creative as much as you want; you can make spiders or other designs if you like.  

If you are looking for an alternative to caramel apples, I believe you’ll enjoy these chocolate dipped apples.

Ingredients you’ll need

You can find the exact quantities at the bottom of my post, in the recipe card.

• Apples–  I use Granny Smith apple for a tangy flavor and Gala apple for a sweet flavor.  My favorite is the ones with Granny Smith.
• Chocolate– I use semi-sweet 60% cocoa and white chocolate.
• Chocolate Chips– They are needed if you’ll make a Halloween mummy design. I use it for the eyes, if you don’t have it, you can make a dot with your melted chocolate as well.

I use wooden popsicle sticks.

Step by step instructions

First I wash the apples and dry them well.  Then I cut the apples into 0.5 to 0.6inch (1.25-1.50 cm) thick slices. It makes almost 4 to 5 large and 2 small slices out of 1 medium-large apple.

I put the apple slices on a paper towel to let them dry as much as they can.

Next, I make a small slit to the bottom of the slices so I can insert the wooden stick easily.

Then I melt chocolate over bain-marie; I  fill a medium saucepan that is large enough to hold a heat safe bowl and fill the saucepan with almost  1,2 to 2 inches (3-5cm) of water. I place it over med-high heat and bring it to a simmer.

When it simmers, I reduce the heat to medium and place the heatproof bowl that is full of chopped semi-sweet chocolate over the saucepan.

I make sure the bowl doesn’t touch the simmering water. If it does, you should reduce the water amount. I stir often with a spoon or spatula.

I dip the apples into chocolate. Chocolate reaches the meeting point of apples and sticks; this way the chocolate works as a glue.

In the beginning, I totally dip the apples into chocolate.  But as I continue with other apples, the amount of chocolate becomes less. 

So at this point,  first I dip half of the apples and then spread it with a knife.  I place the apples on a parchment paper covered baking sheet.

Then I place the chocolate covered apples into the fridge to let the chocolate set for almost 20 minutes.

While the chocolate is setting, I melt the white chocolate over a bain-marie.

I place the melted chocolate into a piping bag (if you like, you can use a ziplock bag) and make a small cut from the top.

If you don’t want a Halloween design, simply drizzle white chocolate over the apples.

For a Halloween design, I pipe small circles to make the eyes and add chocolate chips over the white circles. You can use the front side or the back of the chips, they both look good.

Then I start to drizzle the chocolate avoiding drizzling the eye part. I keep the slices in the fridge until ready to serve.

I hope you enjoy these chocolate covered apples either with a simple drizzle or with a Halloween design!
