For me, the flavor combination of marshmallows, graham crackers and apples just can’t be beat. Others must think the same thing. Any time I take these to an autumn bake sale, they sell out in a flash.

PREP: 20 MIN. • COOK: 10 MIN. + CHILLING • MAKES: 8 SERVINGS
8 large Granny Smith apples
8 wooden pop sticks
2 tablespoons butter
2 packages (16 ounces each) large marshmallows
2 cups coarsely crushed graham crackers
1 package (11 1/2 ounces) milk chocolate chips
1. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper; generously coat the waxed paper with cooking spray. Wash and dry the apples; remove stems. Insert pop sticks into apples.
2. In a large heavy saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add marshmallows; stir until melted. Dip apples, one at a time, into warm marshmallow mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Place on prepared baking sheet and refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes.
3. Place graham cracker crumbs in a shallow dish. In top of a double boiler or a metal bowl over barely simmering water, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Dip bottom half of apples in chocolate; dip bottoms in cracker crumbs. Place on baking sheet. Refrigerate until set.
TOP TIP
Dipping Apples
Make sure the apples are at room temperature before dipping them. If the apples are too cold, ingredients may not stick particularly well and could slide off the apples.
