Ingredients
Scale
Apple Base
- 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
- Prepare the apple slices: Cut the apple into ¼-inch thick slices and core each slice. Typically, this yields 3-4 slices per apple suitable for topping.
- Make the topping mixture: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the shredded coconut, almond butter, and maple syrup until fully combined and spreadable.
- Assemble the apple Samoas: Spoon and spread the coconut and almond butter mixture evenly over each apple slice. Arrange the topped apple slices on a sheet of parchment paper.
- Melt and drizzle chocolate: Gently melt the chocolate chips together with coconut oil until smooth, either using a microwave in short bursts or over a double boiler. Drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over each prepared apple slice.
- Set and serve: Place the assembled apple Samoas in the freezer for 5-10 minutes until firm. Once set, enjoy immediately or store as per your preference.
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. The apples may soften but remain tasty.
- Freezing: To freeze, place the assembled apple slices on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag and store for up to 1 month. Thaw a few minutes before eating.
