Cut your apples in half, and using a small spoon or pumpkin carving tools, remove the core and scrape out at least 50% of the insides of your apples
Be careful not to break your apples, you need the halves intact
Place your jar of coconut butter in the microwave, lid off for 30 seconds to soften (If you are against microwaves, heat it in water over the stove)
Scoop coconut butter into all of your apple halves filling until it is level with the half and ensure you pack it down
Place all of your apple halves on a plate or cookie sheet and in the freezer for 20 minutes
While your apples are freezing, place your dark chocolate in a double boiler on your stovetop on LOW heat
Once your chocolate starts to melt, add in your butter or coconut oil and stir well to combine
Once your chocolate is tempered, turn the heat off
Place your shredded coconut in a bowl to make it easier for dipping
Take your apples out of the freezer
Using a sharp long knife, carefully cut your apples in slices to resemble my picture
Dip one end in your chocolate and then your shredded coconut and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet
Repeat the process for all your apple slices and sprinkle them all with cinnamon
Place all your apples in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to set and then take out and enjoy
You can keep them refrigerated if you don't plan on eating them right away
Notes
You don't have to use Nikki's coconut butter, but I highly recommend it. You can make your own homemade coconut butter if you choose or buy it from Tropical Traditions HERE.
