Description

Apple Samoas are a delightful and healthy snack inspired by the classic cookie flavors, featuring crisp apple slices topped with a creamy coconut and nut butter mixture, drizzled with melted chocolate. Perfect for a quick treat or a light dessert.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 apple (Honeycrisp or Pink Lady preferred)
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 3 tablespoons almond butter or cashew butter (or seed butter of choice)
  • ½ tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
  • ½ teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apple slices: Cut the apple into ¼-inch thick slices and core each slice. Typically, you will get 3-4 slices from one apple.
  2. Make the coconut-nut butter mixture: In a bowl, mix together the shredded coconut, almond butter (or chosen nut/seed butter), and maple syrup until fully combined into a spreadable mixture.
  3. Top the apple slices: Spoon or spread the coconut and nut butter mixture evenly on top of each apple slice.
  4. Arrange on parchment paper: Place the topped apple slices on a sheet of parchment paper to prepare for the chocolate drizzle.
  5. Melt the chocolate: In a small bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil until smooth, using a microwave or double boiler.
  6. Drizzle chocolate and chill: Drizzle the melted chocolate over each apple slice with the coconut topping, then place the slices in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes until the chocolate sets and is firm.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Once firm, the Apple Samoas are ready to be served as a delicious, healthy snack or dessert.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Honeycrisp or Pink Lady for the best texture.
  • Almond butter can be substituted with other nut or seed butters as preferred.
  • Freezing helps the chocolate to set quickly and adds a refreshing chill.
  • Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or using dark chocolate chips for a less sweet option.
