Description
Candy apples coated with white chocolate and strawberry‑shortcake style toppings
Ingredients
- 6 Granny Smith apples (washed & dried)
- 6 wooden sticks or decorative straws
- 3 cups white chocolate melting wafers (or white almond bark)
- ½ cup strawberry‑flavored candy melts (for drizzle)
- 1 cup Golden Oreo cookies, crushed fine
- 1 cup freeze‑dried strawberries, crushed fine
- Fresh strawberry slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Insert sticks into the top of each apple (making sure apples are completely dry).
- In a microwave‑safe bowl (or double boiler), melt the white chocolate wafers in 20–30 second bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each apple into the melted white chocolate, turning to coat evenly, and allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- While chocolate is still wet, dip or roll the bottom half of the coated apple into a mixture of crushed Golden Oreos and freeze‑dried strawberries.
- Place apples on parchment paper to set.
- In a separate bowl, melt the strawberry candy melts, then drizzle over the coated apples to create stripes or decorative lines.
- If desired, gently press fresh strawberry slices into the coating before it fully hardens.
- Allow apples to harden fully at room temperature or in the fridge.
- Serve within 1–2 days for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Make sure apples are completely dry; moisture prevents coating from sticking properly.
- Work quickly when dipping and adding toppings before chocolate sets.
- Use parchment or wax paper under apples to avoid sticking.
- For a gluten‑free version, replace Golden Oreos with a gluten‑free cookie alternative.
- Store coated apples in an airtight container in the fridge.
