  2. Wash and completely dry the apples and insert sticks into the center at the core. SEE NOTE
  3. In a double boiler (SEE NOTE), heat the chocolate and coconut oil over medium heat. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Approximately 10 minutes.

Notes

  • Make sure the apples are completely dry so the chocolate sticks to them.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can put a heat resistant bowl in a sauce pan that's half filled with water.
