4.4 from 99 reviews

Apple Samoas are a healthy, no-bake snack inspired by the flavors of Samoa cookies. Crisp apple slices are topped with a luscious mix of almond butter, shredded coconut, and sweet maple syrup, then finished with a drizzle of melted chocolate for a deliciously guilt-free treat perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in short bursts, stirring in between until smooth.
  5. Drizzle Chocolate: Using a spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate over each apple slice generously.
  6. 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.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Honeycrisp or Pink Lady for the best texture.
  • Feel free to substitute almond butter with any seed or nut butter of your choice.
  • The freezer step is important to set the chocolate and make the snack easier to eat.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and can be made vegan by ensuring the chocolate chips are dairy-free.
  • Store leftover Apple Samoas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
