How long do chocolate covered apples last?

They last about 3–5 days in the fridge, but are best within 48 hours for crunch.

Do they need to be refrigerated?

Yes, always. Refrigeration prevents spoilage and keeps chocolate firm.

You can, but freezing alters the texture. Whole apples fare better than slices.

Granny Smith for tartness, Honeycrisp for sweetness, or Gala for kid-friendly flavor.

Yes — as long as your toppings are gluten free. Always check ingredient labels.

Absolutely. Just coat slices with lemon juice first to slow browning.

Dark or semi-sweet works best for flavor balance, but milk and white chocolate are great for variety.
