Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 medium apples (any variety, cored and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds or wedges)
- 1/3 cup natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (such as almonds, peanuts, or walnuts)
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips or dark chocolate chunks
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional)
- 1 tablespoon raisins or dried cranberries
- Ground cinnamon for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare the apples: Wash and slice the apples into 1/4-inch rounds or wedges, removing the core. Pat the slices dry with a paper towel to help the peanut butter adhere better.
- Spread peanut butter: Spread a thin layer of natural peanut butter evenly over each apple slice to serve as a flavorful base.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and dried fruit over the peanut butter on each apple slice to add texture and bursts of sweetness.
- Enhance flavor: Lightly sprinkle ground cinnamon over all the prepared slices for an aromatic touch and extra flavor dimension.
- Serve: Arrange the apple slices on a plate and serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and freshness.
Notes
- To prevent the apple slices from browning, toss them in a little lemon juice before applying the peanut butter and toppings.
- For a nut-free alternative, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
- This snack is ideal for kids’ lunchboxes, after-school snacks, or a quick, energizing bite anytime.
