Samoa Apple Slices Recipe
Samoa Apple Slices Recipe is a healthy no-bake dessert featuring crisp apples topped with creamy almond butter, coconut, maple syrup, and a rich chocolate drizzle. Perfect for snacks or healthier desserts.
Ingredients
- 2 medium apples any variety
- ½ cup smooth natural almond butter
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- ¾ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 3 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
- ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper.
- Wash the apples thoroughly and slice each one into approximately six even rounds.
- Remove the core from each apple slice using a small knife or round cutter to create apple rings.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the shredded coconut, vanilla protein powder, and salt. Stir until a thick, creamy mixture forms.
- Spoon the coconut mixture evenly onto each apple ring and gently spread it across the surface.
- Arrange the topped apple slices on the prepared baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for about 10 minutes while preparing the chocolate.
- Melt the dairy-free chocolate chips in the microwave using 20-second intervals or over a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over each apple slice.
- Refrigerate again for 10–15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
- Serve immediately or store chilled until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Protein powder helps create a thicker topping, but it can be omitted if desired.
- Peanut butter or cashew butter can replace almond butter.
- Store the apple slices in a single layer to maintain their appearance.
- A squeeze of lemon juice on the apple slices helps reduce browning.
- These are best enjoyed the day they're made for maximum freshness
