Samoa Apple Slices are a healthy, delicious snack inspired by the popular Samoa cookie flavors. Crisp apple rounds are topped with a creamy almond butter mixture blended with maple syrup, vanilla, shredded coconut, and protein powder, then finished with a drizzle of melted chocolate. This easy no-bake treat combines natural sweetness with a satisfying crunch and rich flavor, perfect for a nutritious snack or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Apple Base

  • 2 medium apples of choice

Samoa Mixture

  • ½ cup smooth, natural almond butter
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¾ cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
  • 3 tablespoon vanilla protein powder

Topping

  • ½ cup non-dairy chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apples: Wash the apples thoroughly and slice each apple into about 6 even rounds, depending on your preferred thickness. Using a knife or a small circle cutter, remove a small circle from the center of each apple slice to mimic the look of a donut.
  2. Make the Samoa mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the smooth almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract and whisk until smooth and well blended. Add the shredded coconut, vanilla protein powder, and a pinch of salt, stirring until all ingredients are evenly incorporated into a thick, cohesive mixture.
  3. Assemble the slices: Using a small spoon or spatula, scoop the Samoa mixture evenly onto the center of each apple slice, spreading it gently but firmly over the surface. Arrange the prepared slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Chill the slices: Place the baking sheet with the topped apple slices into the refrigerator to allow the Samoa mixture to set and firm up while you prepare the chocolate topping.
  5. Melt and drizzle chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the non-dairy chocolate chips until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the chilled apple slices evenly, creating decorative lines or a light coating as desired.
  6. Set and serve: Let the chocolate harden at room temperature or in the fridge for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the Samoa Apple Slices as a refreshing, healthy snack or dessert option.

Notes

  • Choose crisp, firm apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji for the best texture.
  • Use natural almond butter without added sugars or oils for a healthier option.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with agave nectar or honey if not strictly vegan.
  • The protein powder adds extra nutrition but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Non-dairy chocolate chips keep the recipe vegan; use regular chocolate chips if preferred.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days for optimal freshness.
