Serves: 5-5 apple “cookies”
Ingredients
- 1 large apple (choose a sweeter variety, not a tart apple)
- 1/3 cup shredded unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/4 cup cashew butter (sunbutter, almond butter or peanut butter also work but cashew has the most Samoa-like flavor)
- 3-4 Tbls. date syrup (honey or maple syrup also work)
- 2-3 Tbls. chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp coconut oil
Directions
- In a small bowl, mix together coconut flakes, cashew butter and date syrup until very well combined. Will be thick.
- Cut apple into 1/4 inch slices. Rings look more like a Samoa cookie but you can do flat slices too.
- Press cashew butter mix on top of apple slices.
- Put chocolate chips & oil in a small bowl and microwave for 20 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until melted.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over top of the apples, Samoa style! Eat right away or freeze for 5 minutes to harden the chocolate.
Notes
- These do not store great so plan to make the amount you and your fam want to eat immediately (we don’t think that will be a problem!)
