Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 firm, crisp apples (e.g., Honeycrisp or Fuji)
  • 3 tablespoons creamy or crunchy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (for brushing)

Optional Toppings

  • Granola
  • Raisins
  • Chia seeds
  • Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts)
  • Slices of banana or berries
  • Mini dark chocolate chips
  • Cinnamon or honey for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Wash the apples thoroughly, then slice them into even, thin rounds or wedges, carefully removing the core and seeds for easy eating.
  2. Prevent Browning: Lightly brush the apple slices with lemon juice to keep their vibrant color and add a subtle citrus note.
  3. Spread the Peanut Butter: Using a knife or small spoon, generously spread creamy or crunchy peanut butter over each apple slice, ensuring even coverage.
  4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle your chosen toppings like granola, raisins, or seeds on top while the peanut butter is still fresh so they stick well.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the peanut butter-coated apple slices on a plate and serve immediately for maximum freshness and crunch.

Notes

  • Choose crisp, firm apples to maintain crunch and texture.
  • Soften peanut butter slightly to enable easier spreading and smoother texture.
  • Place finished slices on wax paper to prevent sticking if making ahead.
  • Combine seeds, nuts, and dried fruit for varied texture and enhanced nutrition.
  • Cut slices into smaller bite-size pieces for kid-friendly portions and easy snacking.
