Ingredients
Method
- 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.
