How You’ll Make It
- Slice the Apple: Core the apple and cut it into thick rings. Pat the slices dry so the chocolate will stick.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the chocolate (and coconut oil, if using) in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15–20 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
Or use a double boiler: set a heatproof bowl over a pot of gently simmering water (without letting it touch the water) and stir until melted. - Dip the Apple Rings: Dip each apple ring into the melted chocolate. Coat them fully or halfway for a donut-style look, then set them on parchment paper.
- Drizzle the Peanut Butter: Warm the peanut butter for about 10 seconds so it becomes drizzle-ready, then drizzle it over the chocolate-covered apple rings.
- Add the Toppings: Sprinkle on the crushed peanuts and add sprinkles if you want a little extra fun.
- Let Them Set: Place the rings in the fridge or freezer for at least 30 minutes so the chocolate can firm up.
Storage:
Store the chocolate-covered apple donuts in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
For a firmer texture, you can also freeze them for up to 1 week, just thaw for 5–10 minutes before eating.
