How to Make Chocolate Covered Apples
The main ingredient you need for this recipe is your favorite dark chocolate, mine is Pascha Chocolate. It tastes delicious and works super well with this recipe.
Ingredients
Coconut milk powder: This is a vegan powder that gives these chocolate covered apples a tasty coconut undertone.
Coconut butter: Full of nutrients and healthy fats, coconut butter adds richness to this enchanting recipe.
Coconut oil: This one has a really delicious coconut smell and flavor, and pairs super lovely with chocolate and apples!
Vanilla bean powder: I love this vanilla bean powder, if you need to use liquid though feel free.
Cranberry powder: Use cranberry powder for the natural coloring. It works perfect and no artificial coloring is necessary!
Stevia: Use stevia to taste or substitute your favorite sweetener. You may not need any sweetener at all, so it’s good to keep it mild with stevia. A little goes a long way. These apples covered with chocolate are naturally sweet!
Dark chocolate chips: Definitely use a good chocolate like Pascha’s. If you have diet restrictions or allergies, these are the way to go!
Small green apples: If you have some growing this season use them! Otherwise check your local farmer’s market or store with organic produce.
Apples Covered with Chocolate
These festive and enchanted apples are so simple to make, it will only take a few minutes!
First, use a double boiler to melt the coconut powder, coconut butter, coconut oil, and add the vanilla bean powder. Set it aside to cool to room temperature and thicken.
Note: This step is crucial in order for the batter to stick to the apple! If the batter is too liquid add in more coconut milk powder, and make sure it isn’t too warm.
Once cooled and thickened, dip the apples in the coconut white mixture for the first layer. Place them on a pan with a sheet of parchment and put them in the refrigerator to set quickly.
Next, melt coconut butter, cranberry powder, and optional sweetener to taste, together in a double boiler to make the cranberry layer.
At the same time, melt the dark chocolate chips, pinch of sea salt, and optional sweetener to taste in a separate double boiler.
Now take the apples out of the refrigerator, and drizzle them with the cranberry layer. Then top it with the chocolate layer.
Note: You can add in any colors you want depending on what ingredients you have on hand. Let yourself get creative!
These enchanted chocolate covered apples, are perfect for Halloween or any fall get together! They are the most wonderful treat that you can whip up in about 10 minutes!
Enjoy!

Pascha is the only chocolate chips that I can use without sacrificing my chocolate standards. Their 100% dark chocolate is organic, vegan, fair-traded and they don’t have any the weird fillers and ingredients.
Feel feel to use any of the Pascha Chocolate’s as they are absolutely the top of the line.
I have also met them in person and they are the real deal. A family run business conquering the world with healthy chocolate, while raising their kids. I couldn’t recommend them enough, I promise they have good vibes, and intentions all around.
