Samoa Apple Cookies

Written by Erin Porter

Disclosure – This is a sponsored post in which I was compensated by Crunch Pak.  All opinions are my own and I thank you for supporting the companies that make Eat Pray Get Well possible.

When Crunch Pak asked if I would like to work with them on creating a few recipes,  I gave them a big astounding YES!  For one, many of you (including myself) are here because we are trying to eliminate sugar the best we can from our diet.  Many of  you are on the Kaufmann diet where apples (specifically green apples) are one of the sweets allowed while getting sugar out of our diet.  So when I first started limiting my sugar intake, I ate lots and lots (and LOTS) of apples!

This recipe was inspired by the girl scout “Samoa” cookie.  Except this recipe is without the wheat, gluten, processed sugars, preservatives, and guilt of those fantastic, tempting cookies!  Actually, my son and I were recently reminiscing about those cookies.  When he was around five years old, we would not only order one box of cookies when the girl scouts came knocking, but two or three!  And I’m not proud to say that between the two of us, we could finish them off in a night or two.  Early on I taught him my bad eating habits, and he also started to display the same binge type eating habits I had. Which I imagine many kids these days have when addicted to sugar (a topic I look forward to discussing in an upcoming post).  But for now I want to talk Samoa’s!  These caramel, chocolate, and coconut topped “cookies” look too good to be true but they aren’t.  The caramel is homemade (and inspired by Dr. Axe’s recipe) and the chocolate is made from sugar free chips.

I am looking forward to sharing many more healthy recipes in this new year, and I’d love to hear some of your favorite apple recipes!   Here’s to your health and Happy New Year!
