Just a few steps
Wash the apples and dry them thoroughly with a clean towel. Cut the apples into about 0.5cm thick slices, leaving out the center of the apple. Insert a wooden skewer or lollipop stick into the top of each slice. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. Finely chop the nuts and place them in a shallow dish. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring frequently until smooth.
Dip each apple into the melted chocolate, using a spoon or spatula to coat it evenly. Hold the chocolate-coated apple over the dish of chopped nuts and sprinkle the nuts over the chocolate, rotating the apple to coat it evenly.Place the chocolate-coated and nut-covered apple onto the prepared baking sheet. If you want, you can drizzle each apple with nut butter as well. Repeat the process with the remaining apples.

Notes
Choose the right type of apple: For this recipe, it's best to use crisp and firm apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Gala. Avoid using soft or mealy apples, as they won't hold up well when dipped in chocolate.
Melt the chocolate carefully: Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as this can cause it to seize and become grainy.
Chop the nuts finely: Chop the nuts finely so they adhere well to the chocolate-coated apples. You can use any type of nuts you prefer, such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans.
