- Dip each apple slice one after the other into the melted chocolate. Using a spoon can help cover them fully. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off back into the bowl, then transfer the slices onto a wire rack or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Notes
- Double Boiler Method: if you don't have a microwave you can use a different method. Add the chocolate to a small pot placed inside a larger pot filled with simmering water. The steam from the water melts the chocolate evenly and gently, preventing burning or curdling.
- Choose suitable apples – they should be firm and crisp. Choose a variety if you like.
- Don’t burn the chocolate in the microwave; keep an eye on it. Use a double boiler or microwave in short bursts to melt the chocolate gently, avoiding overheating.
- Use high-quality chocolate or chocolate chips for best results.
- Thick-enough slices: don’t cut them too thin, or they might break.
- Insert wooden stick: be gentle and careful when inserting the sticks into the slices.
