2 cup water for boiling.
Use a fruit scooper and scoop out apples into small rounds as shown.
Take toothpicks and pierce then through the center off each scooped apples.
In a pan heat water, take a bowl and place it over the boiling water. Bowl should fit the pan and not immerse in water. Water shouldn't touch the bottom of the chocolate pan or get into chocolate. The steam from water should touch the chocolate pan and cause the chocolate to melt. Add chocolate chips, oil on the top bowl placed over boiling water and let it melt it over low heat. Takes about 5 minutes. Turn gas off as you don't want to burn or dry out the chocolate dip. Place 1 cup shredded coconut in a plate. Dip apples into chocolate and right away roll the dipped apples gently over shredded coconut. Place them on a wax paper to cool at room temperature. Then Refrigerate for 20-30minutes. Ready to eat. You can roll the apple candies over mixed chopped nuts as a variation.
