Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 Large apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)
- 1 cup Dairy-free dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (such as almonds, pecans, or walnuts)
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Using a sharp knife or an apple slicer, slice the apples into approximately 1/4-inch thick slices, discarding the cores.
In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with the lemon juice to prevent browning and add a hint of tartness.
In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the dairy-free dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on a large serving platter or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Using a spoon, a piping bag, or a small ziplock bag with a corner snipped off, drizzle the melted chocolate over the apple slices.
While the chocolate is still warm and melted, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the top and, if desired, a pinch of sea salt.
Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving. If you prefer a firmer chocolate coating, you can place the apple slices in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.
