Notes
Use crisp apples like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith for best texture.
Always dry apples completely—moisture prevents coating from sticking.
Prepare toppings in advance, as dipped apples set quickly.
Mix toppings for variety: sweet + salty combinations are especially good.
For festive versions, use holiday-colored sprinkles or themed candy.
