Ingredients

  • 2 large (1 lb) firm, sweet apples stemmed
  • 2/3 cup chopped bittersweet chocolate
  • coconut oil
  • 2/3 cup chopped White Chocolate

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat.
  2. Cut each apple into 4 slices, making sure to cut off the rounded sides of the outside slices so they can lie flat. Remove all seeds. Insert a wooden popsicle stick in the bottom of each slice and carefully push it about halfway in.
  3. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, mix together the bittersweet chocolate and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Zap at 50 percent power in 30-second blasts, stirring in between, until melted and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. If the chocolate isn't thin enough to coat the slices, stir in a bit more coconut oil.
  4. In another medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Melt as stated in step 3.
  5. Spoon the white chocolate over 4 of the apple pops and coat thoroughly. Let excess chocolate ooze back into the bowl and place the pops on the baking sheet.
  6. Using the bittersweet chocolate, repeat with the remaining 4 apple pops.
  7. Let the apple pops sit until the chocolate begins to thicken but not harden, 5 to 7 minutes.
  8. While the apple pops are resting, spoon the leftover bittersweet chocolate into a disposable pastry bag or small resealable plastic bag. Do the same for the white chocolate. Snip a tiny corner off each bag. If the chocolates have become too firm, a 10-second zap in the microwave should soften them.
  9. Gently squeeze the bag of white chocolate and draw 3 concentric circles on the dark chocolate pops. Repeat on the white chocolate pops using the dark chocolate.
  10. Drag a toothpick through the circles, from the center to the edge, to make a spider web pattern, wiping the toothpick each time. Stash the apple pops in the fridge until firm, 15 to 20 minutes.
