Prepare the Apples

1. Wash and Slice the Apples: Rinse the apples under cold water. Slice each apple into wedges or rounds, removing the core.
2. Pat Dry: Use a paper towel to pat the apple slices dry. This helps the candy coating stick better.

Melt the Candy Coating

1. Melt the Candy Melts: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the candy melts and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
2. Dip the Apple Slices: Hold each apple slice by the skin side and dip it into the melted candy, ensuring it’s well-coated. Allow excess candy to drip off.

Decorate the Slices

1. Add Toppings: While the candy is still warm, sprinkle your desired toppings over the coated apple slices for added fun and flavor.
2. Set to Dry: Place the decorated slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool and harden.
