Smores Candy Apple Slices (Printable)

Crisp apple slices coated in melted chocolate, topped with graham crumbs and marshmallow drizzle.

# What You'll Need:

→ Apples

01 - 2 large crisp apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp

→ Chocolate Coating

02 - 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
03 - 1 teaspoon coconut oil, optional for smoother melting

→ Toppings

04 - ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
05 - ½ cup mini marshmallows or marshmallow fluff

→ Optional

06 - 2 tablespoons chopped toasted pecans or peanuts
07 - Flaky sea salt for garnish

# How to Make It:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Cut each apple into 4 thick slices approximately ½ inch thick, removing seeds and core from each slice. Pat slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
03 - Insert a popsicle stick or sturdy skewer into each apple slice if desired for convenient dipping.
04 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in 30-second bursts, stirring between intervals until completely smooth. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler for consistent results.
05 - Dip each apple slice halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off naturally.
06 - Immediately sprinkle or press graham cracker crumbs onto the chocolate-coated side of each slice while chocolate remains wet.
07 - Transfer dipped slices onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.
08 - If using marshmallow fluff, microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften, then drizzle over the chocolate side of each slice using a spoon or piping bag. If using mini marshmallows, press a few onto the chocolate while still wet.
09 - Add optional toasted nuts or a pinch of flaky sea salt to the top of each slice.
10 - Refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to fully set before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in 20 minutes with zero baking, so you can satisfy a sweet craving faster than you'd think.
  • Apples make the whole thing feel wholesome while the chocolate and marshmallow remind you it's absolutely indulgent.
02 -
  • Pat your apple slices completely dry or the chocolate will slide right off—it's the one step that feels fussy but changes everything.
  • Work fast once the chocolate is melted because it sets quickly, especially if you're adding marshmallows that need to stick properly.
03 -
  • If your marshmallow fluff seems too thick to drizzle, microwave it just 5 seconds at a time rather than the full 15—it'll warm without deflating.
  • The real secret is using really good chocolate; it's the largest flavor component, so splurge a little here and taste the difference.
