Apple Samoas Ingredients
- 1 apple (Honeycrisp or Pink Lady recommended)
- 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
- Prepare the Apple Slices: Core and cut the apple into ¼-inch thick slices. Aim for 3-4 slices depending on the apple size.
- Make the Coconut Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, almond or cashew butter, and maple syrup. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Assemble the Toppings: Spread the coconut and nut butter mixture evenly on top of each apple slice placed on a piece of parchment paper.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips together with the coconut oil until smooth and runny.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Drizzle the melted chocolate over each topped apple slice to add a rich finishing layer.
- Set the Apple Samoas: Place the prepared apple slices in the freezer for 5-10 minutes until the chocolate firms up. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute almond butter with any nut or seed butter of your choice.
- For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Keep the Apple Samoas in the freezer until ready to serve for the best texture.
- Using a tart apple variety offers a nice contrast to the sweet toppings.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup to your preferred sweetness level.
