Fresh Ingredients
- 2 apples (any variety)
Spreads and Toppings
- ¼ cup peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons granola
- 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon raisins
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Apples: Wash and core the apples thoroughly. Slice them into rounds or wedges about ¼ inch thick, ensuring uniform pieces for easy topping and eating.
- Apply Peanut Butter: Spread a thin, even layer of peanut butter on each apple slice. This will act as a flavorful base and help toppings stick.
- Add Toppings: Choose from granola, mini chocolate chips, raisins, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts. Sprinkle your preferred toppings evenly over the peanut butter-coated slices.
- Serve or Store: Serve the apple slices immediately for the best texture and flavor. If preparing ahead, refrigerate briefly to keep fresh and crisp.
Notes
- To prevent apple slices from browning, briefly dip them in a mixture of lemon juice and water before applying the peanut butter.
- For those with peanut allergies, substitute peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter.
- This snack is perfect for lunchboxes, quick afternoon treats, or healthy party finger food.
