Smores Candy Apple Slices (Printable)

Crisp apple slices with silky chocolate, graham cracker crumbs, and marshmallow drizzle for a sweet twist.

# 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 - 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
05 - 1/2 cup mini marshmallows or marshmallow fluff

→ Optional

06 - 2 tablespoons chopped toasted nuts such as 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. Cut each apple into 4 thick slices approximately 1/2 inch thick, removing seeds and core from each slice. Pat slices dry with paper towels.
03 - Insert a popsicle stick or sturdy skewer into each apple slice if desired for easy dipping.
04 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil if using in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler.
05 - Dip each apple slice halfway into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
06 - Immediately sprinkle or press graham cracker crumbs onto the chocolate-coated side.
07 - Place dipped slices onto the prepared baking sheet.
08 - If using marshmallow fluff, microwave 1/2 cup for 10 to 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 nuts or a pinch of flaky sea salt.
10 - Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set the chocolate before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Fresh apples keep these treats light and not overly sweet, so you can actually enjoy multiple slices without that sugar crash.
  • The whole thing comes together in under 20 minutes with zero baking required, making it perfect for unexpected guests or last-minute cravings.
  • That contrast between crisp apple, creamy chocolate, and crunchy graham cracker creates this addictive texture that keeps you coming back for one more bite.
02 -
  • Pat your apple slices completely dry before dipping or the chocolate will bead up and refuse to coat properly, which I learned the hard way the first time I tried this.
  • Once you dip, work fast with the toppings because chocolate sets up quickly, and if you hesitate, your graham crumbs will just slide right off instead of sticking.
03 -
  • Crush your own graham crackers by putting them in a sealed bag and pounding them with a rolling pin—they'll stay fresher longer and you'll have more control over the texture.
  • If you want to make these ahead, melt and coat the apples, then freeze them on the baking sheet before wrapping individually in plastic wrap; add toppings after thawing for the best texture.
