Shamrock Apple Pop Ingredients & Accessories
White chocolate: I used white chocolate and dyed some of it green with natural colorant. You can use any chocolate, but I love how the ifiProvisions chocolate melts, so that is what I typically use. I have a 15% off discount (HEALTHYHOLME) if you want to try!
Green sprinkles: I used natural green sprinkles from ifiProvisions
Large apple: Typically I use Fuji or Gala apples, but really any larger apple works!
Popsicle sticks: I just use simple wooden popsicle sticks such as these.
Shamrock cutters: This is the set I got off Amazon. I used the tiny ones to punch out the middle of the large slices and the large cutters to cut out the smaller apple slices.
Baking sheet lined with parchment paper: For this recipe I used a half sheet pan. The parchment paper makes sure that the chocolate doesn’t stick to the pan.
Storage Tips
As long as the apple slices are completely covered in chocolate, they can be stored up to a week in an airtight container in the fridge.
FAQs
My chocolate is too thick, what can I do?
If your chocolate is too thick, I recommend adding a 1/2 tsp of coconut oil to thin it out.
My popsicle sticks are coming out the side of the apple slice. How can I fix this?
Slice your apples thicker and make sure the popsicle stick is going right in the middle of the slice.
How do I keep the chocolate on the apples? Mine is not sticking.
Pat your apples dry and make sure your chocolate isn’t too thick. Some brands of chocolate seem to not dip as well. If you patted the apple dry and the chocolate is thin and you’re still not having success, you may need to lay the apple flat and spoon the chocolate on top of the apple slice, freeze for 2 minutes, flip and spoon chocolate onto the other side of the apple, freeze again.

Ingredients
- 1 large apple
- 1 cup white chocolate melted
- natural green dye optional
- natural green sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Cut the apple into 2 slices, about 1/2 inch thick, to the left and right of the core. You should have 4 apple slices to make into pops.
- For the larger slices (the ones closer to the core), use a small shamrock cutter to cut out a shamrock in the middle of the apple slice. This is also helpful if there are seeds. For the smaller slices, cut them into a shamrock using the cookie cutter.
- Use a knife to make a small slit in the bottom of each apple slice. Insert a popsicle stick into the slit, being careful not to push through the cutout.
- Dip the apple pops into the melted chocolate. I find it easiest to melt the chocolate in a mug about the width of the apple. I use a spoon to help get the chocolate all over the apple.
- Lay the apple pop on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and add toppings, if desired.
