Keyword: apple, chocolate, clean eating, dairy free, gluten free, healthy, healthy dessert, healthy snack, no bake, paleo, paleo friendly, plant based, refined sugar free, vegan

Ingredients

  • 1 apple (any kind)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 2 tsp coconut oil

Toppings of choice: see above for ideas and what I used!

    Instructions

    • Place an apple on a cutting board with the stem facing up.
    • Slice from the core down into 1/2 inch slices until the apple is completely used.
    • Use a bottle cap, knife, or apple corer, and remove a circle in the center of each apple slice - removing the core from those that have it and still creating a circle in the others.
    • Line a tray with parchment paper and place each slice on top.
    • Melt the chocolate by placing chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and repeat until smooth.
    • Dip each apple slice into the chocolate and cover both sides. Place back on the parchment-lined tray.
    • Add toppings of choice to your apple donuts.
    • Place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes or until chocolate is set.
    • Let thaw a little and enjoy!
