Apple Samoas are a healthy and delicious snack featuring crisp apple slices topped with a creamy coconut and nut butter mixture, drizzled with melted chocolate. Inspired by the flavors of the classic Samoa cookie, this recipe offers a fresh, no-bake treat that’s perfect for a quick dessert or snack, combining sweet, nutty, and fruity elements with a satisfying crunch.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 apple (Honeycrisp or Pink Lady recommended)

Topping

  • 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: Cut the apple into ¼-inch thick slices and core each slice. Aim for 3 to 4 slices depending on apple size.
  2. Make Coconut Mixture: In a bowl, combine the shredded coconut, almond butter, and maple syrup until the mixture is fully blended and sticky enough to hold together.
  3. Assemble Toppings: Spoon the coconut and nut butter mixture evenly on top of each apple slice, pressing gently to adhere. Place the topped slices onto a parchment-lined tray or plate.
  4. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in short bursts, stirring in between until smooth and glossy.
  5. Drizzle and Set: Drizzle the melted chocolate over each apple slice with the toppings. Transfer the tray to the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set firmly.
  6. Serve: Enjoy immediately once the chocolate is firm as a refreshing and healthy snack.

Notes

  • Use crispy apples such as Honeycrisp or Pink Lady for the best texture and flavor contrast.
  • You can substitute almond butter with other nut or seed butters like cashew or sunflower seed butter.
  • For a dairy-free version, ensure the chocolate chips are vegan-friendly.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or in the freezer for longer shelf life.
