Wash the apples, remove the stems and then insert the skewers where the stems were. Pat them dry with a clean towel to prevent water from getting into the melted chocolate.
Fill a small sauce pan with water, about a cup. Place the saucepan onto the burner and bring it up to a simmer.
Place a glass bowl onto the saucepan and then pour in the chocolate chunks and coconut oil. Mix the chocolate chunks often to help them melt.
Once the chocolate is fully melted dunk the apples in the melted chocolate by swirling them around and using a spoon to cover them with the chocolate.
After you've coated the apples give them a little swirl around to remove the excess chocolate. Add your favorite toppings and then place onto a parchment or Silpat lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate the apples for 20-30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
Enjoy now or serve within 3-4 days.

Notes
Granny Smith is preferred, but you can use whatever apples you like.
Dry the apples after washing, water will cause the chocolate to seize up.
Use coconut oil to thin the chocolate, if the chocolate is too thick you may need to melt it a bit more or try adding more coconut oil.
Use organic apples whenever possible, especially since no organic may have a waxy coating.
