Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 1 apple (Honeycrisp or Pink Lady preferred)
Toppings
- 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 apple slices: Cut the apple into ¼-inch thick slices and core each slice. You should get about 3-4 slices depending on the size of your apple.
- Make the coconut-nut butter mixture: In a bowl, thoroughly mix together the shredded coconut, almond or cashew butter, and maple syrup until well combined and spreadable.
- Top apple slices: Spoon the coconut and nut butter mixture evenly on top of each apple slice, spreading it out gently to cover the surface.
- Prepare baking surface: Place the topped apple slices on a sheet of parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy transfer.
- Melt chocolate drizzle: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips together with the coconut oil in short increments, stirring frequently until smooth and combined.
- Drizzle chocolate and chill: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the coconut-topped apple slices. Then place the assembled slices in the freezer for 5-10 minutes or until the chocolate has firmed up. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute the nut butter with any seed butter, such as sunflower or tahini, to suit dietary preferences.
- For extra texture, toast the shredded coconut lightly before mixing.
- Use dark chocolate chips for a richer, less sweet flavor.
- Store leftover Apple Samoas in the freezer for up to 2 days, and allow them to soften slightly before eating.
- Cut apples immediately before serving to prevent browning or toss slices briefly in lemon juice.
