Ingredients
Scale
Apple Base
- 1 apple (Honeycrisp or Pink Lady preferred)
Topping
- 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 Apple Slices: Slice the apple into ¼-inch thick rounds and remove the core from each slice. You should get about 3-4 slices depending on apple size.
- Make Coconut Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the shredded coconut, almond butter, and maple syrup. Mix thoroughly until fully blended into a sticky topping.
- Top Apple Slices: Spoon or spread the coconut and nut butter mixture evenly onto each apple slice, covering the top surface.
- Place on Parchment: Arrange the topped apple slices on a parchment-lined tray or plate to prepare for chocolate decoration.
- Melt Chocolate Drizzle: Gently melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil using a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
- Decorate and Freeze: Drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over each topped apple slice. Transfer the tray to the freezer and chill for 5-10 minutes until the chocolate firms up.
- Serve: Enjoy your Apple Samoas immediately as a refreshing, naturally sweet snack.
Notes
- Using Honeycrisp or Pink Lady apples provides a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.
- You can substitute almond or cashew butter with any seed butter like sunflower or tahini if preferred.
- For a vegan option, ensure the chocolate chips are dairy-free.
- Store leftover Apple Samoas in the freezer to maintain freshness and texture.
- Feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon to the coconut mixture for extra flavor.
