Description

A delightful and easy twist on the classic Samoas cookie, featuring crisp apple slices topped with a creamy nut butter and maple syrup mixture, toasted coconut, and a chocolate drizzle.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Honeycrisp or Pink Lady apple
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 3 Tablespoons almond butter, cashew butter, or seed butter
  • ½ Tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 Tablespoons chocolate chips
  • ½ teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Wash, core, and slice one apple into ¼-⅓ inch rounds. Toss with fresh lemon juice to prevent browning.
  2. Toast ⅓ cup shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium-low heat or in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 5-10 minutes until golden brown. Stir frequently, then transfer to a plate to cool completely.
  3. In a small bowl, mix 3 Tablespoons almond butter (or cashew/seed butter) with ½ Tablespoon maple syrup until smooth.
  4. Melt 2 Tablespoons chocolate chips with ½ teaspoon coconut oil using a double boiler or microwave until smooth.
  5. Spread the nut butter mixture evenly over each apple slice. Gently press the coated side into the toasted coconut to adhere. Drizzle with the melted chocolate in a decorative pattern.
  6. Place the assembled Apple Samoas on a parchment-lined platter and chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes until the toppings are set. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
