Ingredients

• 6 Fuji Apples
• 10 oz. white chocolate chips
• 4 c. shredded coconut

Directions

1. Remove stems and skewer apples (see "Tricks for Sticks," below).
2. In a double boiler over low heat, melt white chocolate chips, stirring continuously.

4. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat for all apples and refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes.

Tips & Techniques

Tricks for Sticks: First, simply twist off the stem. If your skewer is blunt, sharpen it using a utility knife to slice off one end at a diagonal angle. Then, working on a flat surface, firmly grip your apple and push the skewer two-thirds of the way in. If any juice leaks out, blot the fruit with a paper towel before dipping.
