Ingredients

  • 2 large apples*
  • 360 g (12.7 oz) semi-sweet chocolate 60% cocoa, roughly chopped
  • 130 g (4.6 oz) white chocolate, roughly chopped
  • 24 pieces small chocolate chips**

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat and set aside.
  • Wash the apples and dry well.  Cut the apples into almost 0.5-0.6 inch (1.25-1.50 cm) thick slices.  Don’t cut thinner than ½ inch (1.25 cm) as it may be hard to insert the sticks in the next step.
  • Place the apple slices on a paper towel to let them dry as much as they can. Make a small slit to the bottom of the slices so you can insert the wooden sticks easily.
  • Melt the chocolate over bain-marie.  Place a medium saucepan(that is large enough to hold a heatproof bowl) with almost  1.2 to 2 inches (3 to 5cm) of water over med-high heat and bring to a simmer. When it simmers, reduce the heat to medium and place the heatproof bowl that is full of chopped semi-sweet chocolate over the saucepan and stir with a spoon/spatula.  Make sure the bowl doesn’t touch the simmering water. If it does you should reduce the water amount.
  • Dip the apples into the melted chocolate and place on a parchment covered baking sheet. Once apples dipped into chocolate, chocolate should reach the meeting point of the apples and the sticks. So chocolate can work as a glue. In the beginning, you can dip some of the apple slices into chocolate completely but as you continue, there will be a small amount of chocolate in the bowl. At this point, first, dip half of the apple slices and then spread the chocolate with a knife. Place the chocolate covered apple slices into the fridge to let the chocolate set for almost 20 minutes.
  • Start to melt the white chocolate over bain-marie as the chocolate covered apples start to set in the fridge. Place the melted chocolate into a piping or a ziplock bag. Let the white chocolate be in a pipeable consistency. When ready, cut a small piece from the edge. If you don't want a Halloween design, simply drizzle the melted white chocolate over the apples. For a Halloween design pipe small circles to make the eyes.  Put the chocolate chips over the white circles. Drizzle the white chocolate to give a mummy shape without drizzling to the eye section.
  • Keep in the fridge until ready to serve.

Notes

*I use Granny Smith and Gala to give different options. I personally like with Granny Smith a lot.  
**If you don’t have chocolate chips, you can make a dot with your melted semi-sweet chocolate as well.
How to store: You should keep these chocolate apple slices in the fridge.  It is best served the same day as juice of the apples starts to release. I made a test and in my case the juice that released from the sides wasn't too much, it didn't affect the taste and I consumed it within 48 hours. But for the best results you should serve them the same day.
