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
- Wash, core, and slice one apple into ¼-⅓ inch rounds. Toss with fresh lemon juice to prevent browning.
- 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.
- In a small bowl, mix 3 Tablespoons almond butter (or cashew/seed butter) with ½ Tablespoon maple syrup until smooth.
- Melt 2 Tablespoons chocolate chips with ½ teaspoon coconut oil using a double boiler or microwave until smooth.
- 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.
- 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.
