  • Water: Enough to cover the apples in the saucepan
  • Oil for Greasing: About 1-2 tbsp

Preparation

1. Prepare the Apples

  1. Peel and Core the Apples: Start by peeling the apples and removing the core. Cut the apples into small pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
  2. Cook the Apples: Transfer the apple pieces to a saucepan and cover them with water. Turn on the stove, cover the saucepan with a lid, and bring the water to a boil. Let the apples cook for about 5 minutes until they are tender.
  3. Drain and Puree the Apples: Turn off the stove and drain the cooked apples. Place the apples in a bowl and use an immersion blender to blend them into a smooth puree. Set the apple puree aside.

2. Melt the Dark Chocolate

  1. Chop the Chocolate: Use a knife to chop the dark chocolate into small pieces. This will help it melt more evenly.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: Place the chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the chocolate in short intervals, stirring in between, until it is fully melted and smooth.
