Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 apple, Honeycrisp or Pink Lady preferred, sliced into ¼-inch thick rounds and cored (about 3–4 slices)
Mix Topping
- ⅓ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 3 tablespoons almond butter (or cashew butter, or seed butter of choice)
- ½ tablespoon maple syrup
Chocolate Drizzle
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
- ½ teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare the apple slices: Core the apple and cut it into approximately 3-4 slices that are about ¼-inch thick each. Lay the slices on a clean surface or parchment paper.
- Mix the topping: In a bowl, thoroughly mix the unsweetened shredded coconut, almond butter, and maple syrup until fully combined into a consistent creamy mixture.
- Assemble samoas: Spoon the coconut and almond butter mixture evenly over each apple slice, spreading the topping smoothly on top. Place the topped apple slices on parchment paper for easy handling.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips together with the coconut oil until smooth and well combined.
- Drizzle chocolate and chill: Drizzle the melted chocolate mixture over each apple slice generously. Transfer the apple samoas to the freezer and allow them to firm up for about 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use firm apples such as Honeycrisp or Pink Lady for the best texture and flavor.
- For nut-free version, substitute almond butter with sunflower seed butter.
- Make sure the coconut chips are unsweetened to balance sweetness.
- Storing in the freezer helps the chocolate set quickly and keeps the treats fresh.
- These Apple Samoas are best enjoyed chilled and can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 days.
