How You’ll Make It
- Slice‘em up: Core your apple and cut it into thick rings. Pat dry so the chocolate sticks.
- Melt time: Toss the chocolate (and coconut oil, if using) in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15–20 second bursts, stirring in between, until silky smooth. Or use the double-boiler method: Place a heatproof bowl of chocolate over a pot of gently simmering water (without the bowl touching the water) and stir until smooth and melted.
- Dunk those donuts: Dip each apple ring in chocolate. Coat them however you like, all the way or just halfway for that classic donut vibe. Set them on parchment paper.
- Peanut butter magic: Warm the peanut butter for 10 seconds so it’s drizzle-ready, then go wild and drizzle it over your chocolatey apple rings.
- Top it off: Sprinkle on crushed peanuts and, if you’re feeling festive, add some sprinkles too.
- Chill out: Pop them in the fridge or freezer for at least 30 minutes so the chocolate sets.
- Snack attack: Grab a bite and enjoy the crunchy, tart, chocolatey, peanut-buttery goodness!
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.
