peeled
melted, optional
Peel the Pink Lady apple. In a food processor, blend the peeled apple with the water until smooth. Transfer the apple puree to a bowl, add the desiccated coconut, and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/Gas Mark 4). Line a baking tray with baking parchment. Remove the apple and coconut mixture from the fridge. Using your hands, gently form the mixture into small cookie shapes and place them on the prepared baking tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. If using, melt the dark chocolate and drizzle it over the cooled cookies.
Once the chocolate has set (if used), carefully transfer the cookies to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator. Enjoy them as a healthy snack on the go!
For an extra flavour boost, add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the apple and coconut mixture before chilling.
If you don't have a food processor, you can finely grate the apple and mix it with the water and coconut.
These cookies are quite delicate, so handle them gently when shaping and transferring.
