Apples
- 1 apple (Honeycrisp or Pink Lady preferred)
Topping Mixture
- 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
- Prepare Apples: Slice the apple into ¼-inch thick slices and remove the core. Typically, you should get 3-4 slices depending on apple size.
- Mix Topping: In a small bowl, combine the shredded coconut, almond butter, and maple syrup. Stir until the mixture is fully blended and holds together.
- Assemble Toppings: Spread the coconut and nut butter mixture evenly atop each apple slice. Lay the topped slices on a piece of parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in short bursts, stirring in between until smooth.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Using a spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate over each apple slice generously.
- Set Snack: Place the assembled apple slices in the freezer for 5-10 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened and the topping is firm. Enjoy immediately or store chilled.
