Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 1 apple (Honeycrisp or Pink Lady recommended)
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 the apple slices: Cut the apple into ¼-inch thick slices and remove the core. Aim to get about 3-4 slices for this recipe.
- Make the coconut almond butter mixture: In a bowl, thoroughly combine the shredded coconut, almond butter, and maple syrup until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Assemble the apple samoas: Spoon the coconut and almond butter mixture on top of each apple slice, spreading it evenly.
- Prepare for chocolate drizzle: Place the topped apple slices onto a piece of parchment paper to avoid sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Melt the chocolate: Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler. Heat in short intervals, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
- Drizzle chocolate and set: Drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over each apple slice. Place the assembled snacks in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes or until the chocolate has firmed up. Enjoy chilled!

- You can substitute almond butter with any nut or seed butter of your choice, like cashew or sunflower seed butter.
- For a vegan version, ensure the chocolate chips are dairy-free.
