Ingredients
Instructions
- Clean apples and insert a wooden stick into the center of each apple at the stem end. Place on a sheet of wax paper.
- Place white chocolate morsels in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium power in 40-second intervals, stirring between each, until thoroughly melted.
- Spoon the melted white chocolate onto each apple to coat thoroughly.
- Gently press sprinkles into the chocolate coating on each apple until fully covered.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fun twist, try using dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate. If you want to add flavor, consider mixing in a teaspoon of vanilla extract with the melted chocolate. To make the sprinkles stick better, you can chill the apples for a few minutes after coating them with chocolate before adding the sprinkles. This recipe is perfect for parties or as a delightful treat for kids.
Serving Suggestions
These sprinkled apples make a great festive treat for gatherings or as a fun dessert for children’s parties. They pair beautifully with Sweet And Spicy Popcorn for a balanced snack table. Consider serving them on a platter with a variety of other dipped fruits, like strawberries or bananas, for a colorful dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover sprinkled apples in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To maintain the crispness of the apples, avoid stacking them directly on top of each other. If you need to reheat, do so gently in the microwave for just a few seconds to soften the chocolate without cooking the apple.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of chocolate for coating the apples?
Yes, you can absolutely use dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate. Each type of chocolate will give a different flavor profile, so choose based on your preference. Just follow the same melting process and coating method as you would with white chocolate.
How do I make these apples more festive for a holiday party?
To make your sprinkled apples more festive, consider using seasonal sprinkles like holiday-themed shapes or colors. You can also drizzle melted chocolate in contrasting colors over the sprinkles for a decorative touch. Wrapping them individually in cellophane can add a nice presentation for holiday gifts or party favors.
Can I prepare these apples in advance?
While it's best to serve sprinkled apples fresh, you can prepare them a few hours in advance. Just keep them in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. However, adding the sprinkles right before serving will ensure they remain vibrant and crunchy.
