Apple Samoas With Date Caramel
These apple samoas are super simple and fun to make. Just top apple rings with date caramel, toasted coconut and chocolate. A great kid-friendly recipe too!
INGREDIENTS
1 large apple (I love Honeycrisp)
2 Tablespoons date caramel
2 Tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
2 Tablespoons chocolate chips (dairy-free, if needed)
1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
DIRECTIONS
Prep date caramel if you haven’t already.
Toast coconut by putting it in a small pan or skillet over medium-low heat for 3-6 minutes. Be sure to stir continuously to prevent the coconut from burning.
Cut apple into 1/4″ slices. You should be able to get about 4 slices. Feel free to snack on the first slice and the last slice since those won’t have a uniform shape.
Use a melon baller to remove the core from the apples and make a little hole in the center of each slice. You can also use a spoon or an apple corer for this step.
Use a knife to spread about 1/2 Tablespoon of date caramel on each apple ring. Sprinkle toasted coconut over each.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted. Drizzle melted chocolate on apple slices and serve immediately or place in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes, just to let the chocolate harden.
