I love Autumn! The changing colours of the leaves, sweet potatos, carrots and vegetable soups and celebrating Halloween and the festival of lights Diwali! In the spirit of autumn I have been making many chocolate apples. They are easy peasy, quick and fun to make. I used good quality 85% dark chocolate which I melt and Braeburn apples which are fantastically crisp and delicious. Below is a picture of my chocolaty version of the classic toffee apples which I find are too sticky sweet and non tooth friendly. My chocolate apples are a tasty healthy treat, free from artificial flavourings and sweeteners as I skipped the sprinkles. Apples contain vitamins, minerals the antioxidant quercitin which keeps the immune system strong and a good source of fibre which is great for digestion. The dark chocolate also contains antioxidants and some magnesium which is good for the heart and soul!
