Instructions:
- Wash and core the apple. Grate it into fine pieces using a grater or a food processor.
- Roughly chop the almonds and walnuts to your desired texture. Alternatively, you can pulse them a few times in a food processor.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated apple, peanut butter, chopped almonds, chopped walnuts, and dried coconut meat.
- Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed and well combined. The mixture should be thick and sticky.
- Gently fold in the chocolate candies, making sure they are evenly spread throughout the mixture.
- Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into small bite-sized balls. Each ball should be about 1-inch in diameter, but you can make them any size you prefer.
5. Set the Treats:
- Place the formed treats on a parchment-lined baking tray or plate. Make sure they are spaced out enough so they don’t stick together.
- Chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour to help them set properly.
- After the treats have firmed up, they are ready to enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
Tips:
- Use fresh, crisp apples for the best texture and flavor. Granny Smith or Fuji apples work particularly well.
- Ensure your peanut butter is smooth and no-stir for easier mixing and better consistency.
- For a different flavor profile, you can substitute almonds and walnuts with other nuts like pecans or cashews.
- If you prefer a finer texture, pulse the nuts and dried coconut in a food processor before mixing with the other ingredients.
- Melt a bit of chocolate candies and drizzle on top for an added touch of decadence.
- Store the treats in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week to keep them fresh and firm.
These no-bake apple peanut butter coconut walnut treats are not only delicious but also nutrient-rich.
