Ingredients
- Autumn Glory® apples
- Chocolate chips (semi-sweet and white chocolate are used here)
- Festive sprinkles
- 1 small heart-shaped cookie cutter
- 1 large heart-shaped cookie cutter
- Lemon juice
- Cool water
Directions
- Add a splash of lemon juice to a bowl of water and set aside
- Begin by slicing your apple into ¼-inch thick slices. Place slices immediately into the lemon water bowl. (The lemon juice will help extend the freshness of the apple slices after being cut)
- Remove slices from the water and pat dry.
- Next, take an appropriately sized cookie cutter and press it into one of your slices. Use your small heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut the core.
- Melt your chocolate in the microwave, being careful not to burn it. 30-second intervals, stirring between each time works best.
- Drizzle your chocolate over your heart shapes and dust with festive sprinkles.
- Place in the freezer for 5 minutes.
- Allow to sit at room temperature for a minute or two.
- Enjoy!
