Chocolate Dipped Apple Pops
My son had a buddy over after school last week and they are usually starving when they get here so I decided to surprise them both with these chocolate dipped apple pops. A crispy and tart green apple slice dipped in chocolate then drizzled with white chocolate followed by a sprinkling of mini M&M’s and sprinkles. Both of the boys loved these apple pops and my daughter did too. They were a super quick and simple treat to make and they put a huge smile on the kids’ faces. You can’t beat that.
Chocolate Dipped Apple Pops
Ingredients
- 2 green apples sliced (as shown)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips more if needed
- 1½ tsp coconut oil divided
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- Min M&M’s
- Sprinkles
How to Make Chocolate Dipped Apple Pops
Place the chocolate chips in a glass bowl with a teaspoon of coconut oil then put them into the microwave for 30 seconds. Remove and stir then place back into the microwave for 20 seconds. Remove and stir then place back into the microwave for 10 seconds. Remove and stir until completely melted. If needed, continue cooking for 10-second increments. Be careful not to overcook the chocolate!
Slice the apples then pierce the bottom of the apple slice with a skewer or a lollipop stick.
Dip the apple slices in the melted chocolate until evenly coated on both sides. Place the dipped apple pop on a baking sheet lined with a silpat mat. Repeat with remaining apple slices.
Place the white chocolate chips in a glass bowl along with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil. Remove and stir then place back into the microwave for 20 seconds. Remove and stir then place back into the microwave for 10 seconds. Remove and stir until completely melted. Spoon the white chocolate into a small zip lock bag. Cut a super small hole in the corner of the bag and drizzle the white chocolate back and forth over each chocolate-dipped apple slice.
Sprinkle mini m&m’s and sprinkles over the top of each dipped apple pop.
Place into the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

So easy to do and so sweet to eat.
Hi! I used Nestle semi sweet chocolate and had the most difficult time trying to make the chocolate stick to the slices apple. Any recommendations on how I can easily dip the apple slices and have the chocolate stick? Thank you.
Hi Stef,
I have a feeling the apples you used were very juicy. Next time, try patting them dry with a towel before dipping. Wet apples won’t allow the chocolate to stick.

what a fun treat! i have to admit that i’d probably enjoy decorating them as much as i’d enjoy eating them!
Such a great idea! The pops look fun and yum!
What kiddo wouldn’t like that. Very clever idea and I am impressed with how you decorated them.
I can’t wait to try these for our annual Halloween party! How far in advance do you think these could be made?
I feel, they are best if made and eaten on the same day. That being said, my kids enjoyed the last two for a school lunch treat the following day and said they were great.

Would these be good if I made them the night before?

I tried the recipe last night, using red apples instead of green. After carving a hole in the center to remove the seeds, I saw how this was going to be a bit of a challenge as far as covering the entire slice with chocolate. Also, this now didn’t leave much room to pierce a stick through the bottom. How did you get slices that looked flawlessly seedless?
I didn’t use the middle slice with the seeds (I sliced of the edges and ate it). I also made sure to cut the apples into thick slices, so the stick would slide in without ripping. Hope this helps.
Thank you for this wonderful idea. My daughter wants something different for her class birthday treat and this is perfect!
